Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
will/trust
Is it mandatory to read a will when a Trust is in place. Do I have to give a copy of the will when asked by another sibling or is this a courtesy to them. I do not have anything to hide other than to follow the instructions in the trust. do I still have to probate a will.
thank you

Re: will/trust
If there are any assets which are not in the trust, the will (which I assume is a pour-over will placing the contents into the trust) will need to be probated.
