While the assets still must go through probate, the terms of a pour-over will make this a relatively quick and simple process. You cant use a pour-over will to avoid probate completely in Michigan, but you can use one to simplify probate for any assets you havent yet transferred into your living trust.
The testator appoints a personal representative (also known as an Executor) to distribute the assets as directed by the will. A pour-over will is a much simpler document whose purpose is to transfer any assets owned by the testator at the time of their death into the living trust.
Even if you use a trust as your primary estate planning tool for distributing your assets after you die, you should also consider having a pour-over will. With a pour-over will, any assets not included in your trust are automatically transferred to your trust after you pass away.
Which Takes Precedence: Will or Trust? In California, a trust often supersedes a will if a person has created both documents. A trust takes effect immediately, while the trustee is still alive, whereas a will only takes effect after the death of the executor.
