Add a loved one to all valuable property and financial accounts to avoid probate

Probate is a costly, lengthy legal process where the courts help distribute your assets. Adding a joint owner or transfer on death to each bank and investment account and asset (e.g., car, real estate, business) is the best way to avoid it.

You should consult with an estate attorney to make sure that the estate you’re planning for will not have to go through probate.
