What Property is Not Included in the New York Probate Process?
New York Probate Process
Not all property owned by the deceased is subject to probate. For example, life insurance will pass directly to the designated beneficiary and does not require probate unless the beneficiary is the insured’s estate or executor. Title to joint tenancy property with right of survivorship pass automatically to the surviving joint tenant(s), subject to possible tax liability.
A bank account with a “pay on death” provision will pass directly to the named party. Transfer on Death provisions are available with respect to securities and real estate. Property not subject to probate will not pass under the person’s will, which may impair or destroy the deceased person’s wishes regarding disposition of his or her property.
