Typically, all assets that are titled in the name of the decedent (such as real estate, vehicles, or boats) along with non-titled items of personal property, such as furniture, jewelry, art, clothing, or household goods, must go through probate and included in the inventory prepared by the executor or administrator. Certain assets will not need to go through probate, including properly held jointly by the decedent in tenancies with rights of survivorship, properties with designated beneficiaries (such as bank accounts, IRAs, insurance policies, or other accounts titled as pay-on-death or transfer-on-death) unless the designated beneficiary is the decedent’s estate or the decedent designated no beneficiary. Finally, all property transferred to a trust prior to the decedent’s death will avoid probate; property transferred to a trust by a will must still be probated.
