Question: Do all estates need to go through the probate process?
Answer: Not all estates are required to go through probate. Small estates or those with assets held in joint tenancy, living trusts, or with designated beneficiaries (e.g. life insurance policies or retirement accounts) may bypass probate. The threshold for a small estate varies by jurisdiction.
