Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

My mother left a bank certificate of deposit in trust to me. I am the sole beneificary. However she already had a living will dated 1989 that everything gets split 4 ways after her death and part of that will included a "pour over will" that anything left out would be included.

My brothers are contesting that I should give the money back based on this "Pour Over" clause in the will. Or they will sue me and win.

Is this true? The CD was put in trust for me in 2008. Thank you.

You are correct. It is not a probate asset and you are the owner. Tim Klisz. Kliszlaw.com
