Since your husband’s assets titled in his own name exceed $50,000 in value you will need to Not only record his will but also do a probate of his estate. However, since you are not only the Executor but are also the sole heir, you will not be required to file accountings. As a result, the probate process will not be overly burdensome or lengthy. You will need to record the Will, file an Inventory of your husband’s assets and once his debts and taxes have been paid you will be entitled to file a Statement in Lieu of Account to close his estate.
