Probate Basics In Maine, if the deceased dies testate (or with a valid will) then the estate will be distributed ing to the terms of the will. However, if the deceased dies intestate (without a valid will) then the estate will pass to the deceaseds heirs ing to Maines intestate succession laws.
If enough assets are categorized as nonprobate assets, that will ensure that the value of the probate estate remains below $47,700, making probate unnecessary. Some methods to help achieve this include jointly titling assets, fully funding a revocable trust, and naming pay-on-death beneficiaries for bank accounts.
