If my investments ( mostly CREF) have named beneficiaries, will they need to go to probate court when I die? What exactly does need to go to probate court if you have a will?

Re: will, probate and investment funds

Only assets you own individually go through probate.

Assets owned by a trust at death also avoid probate.
