What are the alternatives to including vehicles in a trust?
For those choosing not to include vehicles in their Trusts, a Pour-Over Will can be an effective alternative. This will specify that vehicles should transfer into the Trust upon the owner's death. While this method may require the Will to go through probate, vehicles—especially those used daily—often have values low enough to qualify for a simplified probate process or bypass probate entirely, depending on the state. However, this may not apply to collector cars or highly valuable vehicles.
