Probate is the legal process of transferring property and assets at the time of a person's death. This is a court supervised process that is suppose to distribute property owned by a person at the time of their death, which does not pass to others by designation of ownership. Probate exists to protect all parties involved when a person dies. There are three ways to avoid probate, joint ownership with the right of survivorship, gifts, and revocable trusts.
