Do Wlls have to be probated? The question of whether or not there’s probate or not is whether or not they died with assets in their name without a beneficiary. If there are assets that are in the decedent’s name and don’t have a beneficiary such as real estate their home, then yes, the will has to be probated and that the will directs who the beneficiary of the estate will be and moreover indicates who the executor or personal representative would be in order to administer the estate and give notice to creditors and complete the administration of the estate.
