No, upon the passing of your husband, the joint account will be owned solely by you, no probate is required for assets held jointly with right of survivorship.

I agree with Don Scher. When your husband passes you will be the owner of the joint checking account. You should also check to make sure that your other assets are properly titled. Your car title should say you OR your husband and if you own a home it should be titled as joint tenants with right of survivorship. If your husband has life insurance, you should be named as the beneficiary and not the estate.
