Re: can a will revoke a trust
It depends on the terms of the trust and what assets have already been allocated to the trust. A will can undermine a trust by not allowing for funding of the trust, but a will and a trust are two separate documents.
Generally, at least for what we generally prepare, a will is made to pour over assets into the trust.
Unfortunately, without further details, it is difficult to give much more of a complete response.
