Michigan Pour-Over Will Template (Word + PDF)

The safety net for your living trust.

A Michigan pour-over will leaves whatever is still in your individual name at death to the trustee of your revocable living trust (MCL 700.2511). It does not avoid probate by itself — it makes sure nothing falls outside the plan. Use the same trust name and date as your trust.

What’s included

• Pour-Over Last Will and Testament template
• Personal representative and successor options
• Self-proving affidavit (notary) or unsworn declaration option
• Attestation clause and witness blocks

Signing requirements in Michigan

Sign in front of two witnesses. A notary is only needed if you choose the sworn self-proving affidavit; the unsworn declaration option needs no notary.
