Why chose a Trust v. a Will?

In this case you can have your cake and eat it too! Why should you have to choose between a Trust and a Will when you can have them both. This estate plan includes a Revocable Living Trust and a Pour-Over-Will. The Trust allows your assets to avoid probate, while the Will is a "back up plan" to make sure if something was left out and ends up in probate it tells the court to do the distribution as if it was in the Trust. The Trust and Will are signed on the same date and the Will is incorporated into the Trust, there is no issue with one voiding the other, instead, they work together.
