Actually just the opposite. There is not a will in the history of mankind that does not go through probate if a person dies and their assets are in their individual name and do not have a beneficiary, joint owner or in a trust. Wills go through probate and you have to die to give it life and the probate court processes it.
Consider a living trust or transfer on death to avoid probate.
