New York Pour-Over Will Template

New York Pour-Over Will Template

A New York Pour-Over Will template with completion notes and the blank form. New York adults who have, or are setting up, a revocable living trust and want a will that directs leftover assets into it.

What's included

• Pour-Over Will (8 pages): a will that sends assets left in the signer's individual name into the living trust at death (EPTL 3-3.7), names an executor and a guardian for minor children, and includes an attestation clause and an affidavit of attesting witnesses (SCPA 1406). A pour-over will does not by itself avoid probate.

Each document starts on its own page with plain-English completion notes, followed by the blank form. Where New York law supplies a form, the statutory wording is reproduced verbatim.

Signing requirements (New York)

• Pour-Over Will: signed at the end, declared to be the will, and signed by two attesting witnesses within one 30-day period, with their residence addresses (EPTL 3-2.1). The affidavit of attesting witnesses is signed before a notary (SCPA 1406).
