Texas-statutory document
Pour-Over Will
Tex. Est. Code § 251.104
The companion will to a revocable living trust.
A Pour-Over Will is designed to coordinate with your Revocable Living Trust — it captures any assets you didn't transfer to the trust during your lifetime and 'pours' them into the trust at death. If you have or plan to have an RLT, you need this companion will.
What's included
- Attorney-drafted Texas-statutory Pour-Over Will under Tex. Est. Code
- Self-proving affidavit (Tex. Est. Code § 251.104)
- Coordination language matched to your trust agreement
- Independent executor designation with full Tex. Est. Code § 401.001 powers
- Guardian nomination for minor children (where applicable)
- Execution instructions with witness and notary coordination
Anyone who owns or is establishing a Texas Revocable Living Trust and needs the companion will to fully complete their estate plan.
Wills that need to operate independently of a trust (use Simple Will instead), blended-family residuary disputes, or estates requiring testamentary trusts beyond the pour-over structure.
