What assets avoid probate?

Common probate-avoidance assets include living trusts, joint tenancy property, retirement accounts with designated beneficiaries, life insurance with named beneficiaries, and payable-on-death accounts. Certain real estate may also avoid probate through transfer-on-death deeds or survivorship arrangements.

However, these strategies must be coordinated carefully because improperly structured ownership or outdated beneficiary designations can unintentionally create legal, tax, or family conflict issues.
