Re: Will and Trust
I'm sorry to hear about your father. As for your issue, the will is likely a "pour over" will. This means that any assets not titled to the trust, such as recently acquired assets, or assets that he simply forgot about, will now tranfer to the trust. It is likely that you will need to probate this will. If the RLT was done correctly, and the estate adminsitered correctly during his lifetime AND no one fights you on the probate process, then this should go smoothly.
