If my spouse dies, is probate necessary?
This is a frequent concern. In most cases, the will should be probated because it is necessary to transfer title to the couple’s home. However, if all of the deceased person’s assets are jointly held in accounts naming a surviving spouse with right of survivorship and there is no real estate, probate may not be necessary and the assets in question could pass to the surviving spouse without probate.
