However, if there is no will or the will is contested by potential heirs or creditors, the process can become lengthy due to court hearings and legal challenges. On average, probate in Arizona takes between six months to a year for an uncontested estate.

3: Financial Assets Bank accounts and brokerage accounts, business ownership interests, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets are also subject to probate. However, bank accounts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts that have a designated beneficiary are not considered probate assets.

The next of kin must notify their banks of the death when an account holder dies. This is usually done by delivering a certified copy of the death certificate to the bank, along with the deceased's name and Social Security number, bank account numbers, and other information.

After receiving notification of an account holder's death, a bank will take prompt steps to secure the assets. For an account owned by a single individual, this typically includes: Account status review: The bank reviews the account to confirm its ownership status and determine whether it has a beneficiary designation.

The bank is likely to ask for two forms of your identification (usually a passport or driver's licence, or a proof of address with a utility bill) and a copy of the will. If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate.

In California, an account holder should complete a Totten trust document. A Totten Trust is a payable-on-death account with a named beneficiary. When the account owner dies, the contents of the Totten Trust automatically pass to the beneficiary.

With or without a will, the transfer of property after death requires going to probate court. However, this can be bypassed entirely if the deceased has a valid trust in effect.

Letters of instruction can't replace a valid will. Instead, they work alongside your will to explain your wishes, provide extra information, and leave final messages for your loved ones.

Remember, this type of letter does not have to meet any kind of legal format or other formal requirements. It can be handwritten on plain notebook paper and kept in a file drawer, if you like. In a letter of instruction, anything goes.
