Texas Pour-Over Will Template

Texas Pour-Over Will Template

A Texas Pour-Over Will template with completion notes and the blank form. Texas 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 (9 pages): a will that sends assets left in the signer's individual name into the living trust at death (Estates Code §254.001), names an independent executor and a guardian for minor children, and includes both statutory self-proving forms (§§251.104, 251.1045). 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 Texas law supplies a form, the statutory wording is reproduced verbatim.

Signing requirements (Texas)

• Pour-Over Will: sign in front of two credible witnesses aged 14 or older who sign in the testator's presence (Estates Code §251.051); use witnesses who receive nothing under the will. A notary is needed only to make the will self-proved (§§251.104, 251.1045).
