When settling an estate, trust assets are distributed to beneficiaries as the grantor instructed. A pour-over will covers assets not placed in the trust by the grantor, whether accidentally or intentionally, before death. It acts as a safety net.
A handwritten will is only acceptable in Kentucky if the testator writes their entire will in their handwriting, sign, and date their will in front of two witnesses. A handwritten will without witnesses is not valid. Oral Will: An oral or spoken will, sometimes called a nuncupative will, is not valid in Kentucky.
This arrangement is similar to a testamentary trust, where any assets used to fund the trust have to first go through probate. The only difference is that with a pour over will, only some assets need to be probated since the living trust has already assumed ownership over the rest.
Assets undergoing a pour-over must still undergo probate, meaning they arent entirely shielded from court proceedings. However, this may be a minor inconvenience if the peace of mind it provides outweighs the potential cost of probate.
Wills do not need to be docHubd to be considered legally sound in Kentucky, but they do need the testators physical signature. If you want to simplify the probate process for your executor and beneficiaries, you may want to make a self-proving will.

(1) Every will or authenticated copy admitted to record by any court shall be recorded by the county clerk, and remain in his office, except during such time as it may be carried to another court under subpoena duces tecum.
Although an attorney is not required to create a Will, consulting with these legal professionals can be critical, especially when a person has a large estate or certain conditions they want to be met.
No, in Kentucky, you dont need to docHub your will to make it legal. However, Kentucky allows you to make your will self-proving, and youll need to go to a notary if you want to do that.
