POUR OVER WILL

The Pour Over Will is a will that transfers property owned by you at your death to a trust. There must be a previously existing trust to receive these assets. The will "pours over" assets to the trust by use of the probate transfer process. A pour-over will should be used with a living trust to sweep up any assets that may not have been transferred to the trust during your lifetime.

The staff of The Baptist Foundation of Alabama is qualified to assist you in planning your estate. The Foundation has assisted hundreds of individuals in Christian will preparation, trust arrangements, charitable Gift Annuities, and other estate planning options.
