Will a will override a trust?

A person's will is intended to direct the distribution of their property after their death. Sometimes a person's assets change during life. If a person transferred property to a trust during his life that property would not become part of his estate unless some provision in the trust directed that the property should pass to the estate. Therefore a trust would "override a will" if the property mentioned in the will had already been transferred to a trust during the life of the testator.

Does a will override a revocable trust?

Usually a revocable trust takes precedence over a will when it comes to distributing assets. Assets held in a trust don't typically go through probate, unlike those held in a will. However, it's essential to ensure that the trust is properly funded and that the terms of both the will and the trust are aligned to avoid conflicts.
