Re: living trust vs will
I have stated this many times on this site. I cannot give a proper opinion on documents not before me.
That said, a will may not invalidate a trust, unless it so states. The will governs assets in the "probate estate" which are not in the trust. Assets in the trust are technically not owned by the testator, but by the trust.
See an estate attorney to get a proper opinion on these documents.
Best regards,
