Hello my mother-in-law recently passed away leaving both my husband and brother-in-law as executors and beneficiaries of her estate. She had two properties, life insurance, stocks, bank accounts, and a few credit cards. The question I have is do we have to probate even if there is total agreement b/t both beneficiaries?
To pass title to real estate, you will have to open an estate of some kind (meaning probate). Please see a lawyer in your area about this, and bring along the will.
