With a pour-over will, any assets not included in your trust are automatically transferred to your trust after you pass away. Think of it as a kind of safety net, capturing any property you didnt transfer to your trust while you were alive.
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.
If assets are properly placed in trust before death, the living trust bypasses probate as no proceedings are now necessary to pass title on death. However, the Connecticut Estate Tax Return must be filed through the Probate Court.
Pour-over wills are almost always used in conjunction with a living trust. A living trust is a special legal arrangement between the trustor, their beneficiaries, and a designated successor trustee.
There is no right answer in regards to whether a Living Trust is better than a Will, or vice versa. Each individual should establish their own preference based on their personal circumstances. Some may choose a Living Trust over a Will from the standpoint of removing assets from the probate process.

A pour-over will is an invaluable document for anyone who has created a living trust as part of their estate plan. Its a specialized last will and testament, designed to catch assets that have not been retitled or transferred into your living trust, pouring them into the trust upon your death.
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.
