At the time of death, all assets of the decedent must be transferred out of his or her name. All assets that are not jointly owned, have a beneficiary designation or payable on death, must be probated, and this can often take between 6 to 12 months. Taxes and debts are paid, and the remainder is passed to the beneficiaries. A Will does not avoid probate, it simply tells the judge who you want your assets to go to.
