Avoid death and taxes. By creating this legal entity called a trust you have created something that will outlive you and your spouse.  You can transfer the property you own to this trust and in that way you avoid your property being tied up in probate for years where attorneys take 4-6% of your estate value for attorney's fees.  The best of all is that there are no tax consequences for the transfers of property between you and the trust. Since a trust is really a contract you are completely free to put your wishes in effect as long as those wishes are legal.

Don't let the Public Administrator take over your life decisions.  Have those durable powers  of attorney in place designating your loved one or someone you know and trust to handle your affairs should you become incompetent.  The Directive to Physicians is your living will which allows you to take yourself off life support. Your Pourover Will simply makes sure that everything goes over to your trust and allows you to do things in a will that you cannot do in a trust.
