The purpose of the presumed pour over will that you have written about is to pick up all assets of your mother that were not in trust when she died. Uf all of her assets were in trust at her death then there is no need to probate the will you have written about. To be sure, consult with a wills and trust attorney in your locality. One can be found on attorneypages.com.
