Idaho Last Will and Testament with All Property to Trust called a Pour Over Will
What is this form?
The Last Will and Testament, specifically designed as a Pour Over Will, serves to transfer any assets not already placed into your living trust at the time of your death. Unlike a standard will, which distributes assets according to state laws, a pour over will ensures that all your properties are managed according to the terms of your trust. This form is essential for individuals who have established or are establishing a living trust, as it simplifies the estate planning process while providing clear directives for asset management after death.
Key parts of this document
- Conveyance to Trust: Transfers any remaining assets to your living trust.
- Debts and Expenses: Specifies how to handle debts and expenses after death.
- Guardian of Minor Children: Designates guardianship for any minor children.
- Appointment of Personal Representative: Names an executor for the will.
- Waiver of Bond: Waives the need for a bond from the personal representative.
- Self-Proving Affidavit: Certifies the will's validity through witness signatures.
When to use this document
This form is used when an individual with a living trust wants to ensure that any property not already transferred to the trust will be automatically transferred upon their death. It is particularly useful for people who are in the process of establishing a trust or those who want to clarify how their untransferred assets will be handled, preventing the default distribution under state intestacy laws.
Who this form is for
- Individuals establishing a living trust.
- Those who have an existing living trust but need to address untransferred assets.
- Parents with minor children who wish to designate guardianship.
- Anyone wanting to minimize the probate process and ensure their assets are managed as per their wishes.

No, in Idaho, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Idaho allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
The decision to draft your own will should be made hesitantly and only after careful consideration. Idaho law recognizes handwritten wills, referred to as holographic wills. Material provisions of the will and the signature must be in the handwriting of the person making the will.
As long as it was properly signed and witnessed by two adult independent witnesses who are present at the time you sign your will, it should be legally binding.Using the wrong wording could mean that your instructions aren't followed, or even that your will isn't valid.
