What are the repercussions if I don't fund my trust? Or something gets missed?

If you don’t fund your trust—or if assets are left out—those assets won’t be governed by the trust and may have to go through probate, which can cause delays, added costs, and a loss of privacy. More importantly, if key assets aren’t properly titled, your wishes for how and when your beneficiaries inherit may not be carried out as intended. While your Pour-Over Will serves as a safety net by directing missed assets into the trust through probate, that process can still reduce the efficiency and control your trust was designed to provide.
