over will is a will used alongside a living trust. You can use it to transfer assets not already held in your trust before you die into your trust after your death.

Deciding between a Will and a Trust depends on your circumstances; there are pros and cons of each. For example, a Trust can be used to avoid probate and reduce Estate Taxes, whereas a Will cannot.
