Fill and Sign the Legal Last Will and Testament Form with All Property to Trust Called a Pour over Will Kentucky

KENTUCKY WILL INSTRUCTIONS All Property to Trust “Pour Over Will” U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. http://www.uslegalforms.com This form is for person(s) who are establishing or have established a Living Trust. Although living trusts are a useful tool in assisting one in estate planning, it should be noted that the necessity of a will has not been totally dispensed with merely by the creation of a living trust. One should also have, in addition to a living trust, a “pour over” will, or a will that provides that any assets not transferred to the living trust at the time of the grantor’s death are to be transferred to the trust at the time of the grantor’s death. This is necessary because inevitably there are always some assets which have not been transferred to the trust at one’s death, and this method assures that they too will be controlled by the trust in a method that the grantor chooses, rather than distributed according the various state laws regarding intestacy. This will is designed to be completed on your computer. To do so, use your mouse and click on each field which will be highlighted in gray. This will replace the gray with the words you type. If you do not see the gray shaded area in Word, go to View, Toolbars and check Forms.
