Re: can a will revoke a trust

It depends on the terms of the trust and what assets have already been allocated to the trust. A will can undermine a trust by not allowing for funding of the trust, but a will and a trust are two separate documents.

Generally, at least for what we generally prepare, a will is made to pour over assets into the trust.

Unfortunately, without further details, it is difficult to give much more of a complete response.

If you would like to provide me with some additional details, please feel free to email me directly at the address provided by LawGuru or through our firm's website at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com.
