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.
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.
How long does Probate take? Probate in North Dakota or Minnesota will likely take at least 6 months after the initial court date to open the estate. A more realistic minimum time would be 9 to 12 months.
In North Dakota, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you ownreal estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (its similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a successor trustee).
A codicil is a legal document that acts as a supplement to your last will and testament. It allows you to make changes to different provisions of your will, without having to rewrite the entire document.
