If I have a trust, do I need a will?

Yes, a trust supplements but does not replace a will. Even if you think that you have placed all of your assets into your trust during your lifetime, it often is the case that there are assets, such as assets that you may not have received until shortly before death that are not contained within your trust. Without a pour over will to pour these assets into your trust, your probate will, most likely be more expensive and more complicated than if you did not have a will. In addition a will is needed to name an Executor, the person whom you choose to settle your final affairs, pay your taxes and debts and otherwise see to the closing of your affairs.
