## Pour Over Will

This pour-over will is a long-form and comprehensive type of estate planning document that works in conjunction with a trust. It specifies that any assets not already placed in a trust at the time of the individual's death will be "poured over" into the trust upon their death. This process ensures that these assets are distributed according to the terms of the trust, rather than under the potentially less favorable terms of the will or state intestacy laws.
