I just published a new YouTube video: I Have a Trust — Do I Still Need a Will? (Yes, and Here’s Why)
If you already have a trust, do you really still need a will?
Short answer: yes.
In this video, Arizona estate planning attorney Anjali Patel explains why a pour-over will is a required companion to your trust—and what happens when it’s missing.
A pour-over will acts as a safety net for assets that never made it into your trust. But relying on it the wrong way can still land your estate in Arizona probate, which defeats the purpose of having a trust in the first place.
In this video, you’ll learn:
What a pour-over will actually does
Why a trust alone is not enough
When probate still happens even if you have a trust
The common funding mistakes that cause problems after death
If your trust was drafted years ago—or you’re not sure everything was properly transferred—this is a document you should revisit now, not later.
