The biggest downside of intestate succession is that your loved ones could be in for a long and expensive battle with the legal system to prove what they think you would have wanted.
If the probate estate has a total value (value of probate assets minus any liens and encumbrances) of $51,100 or less (for deaths in 2025) and does not include any real property, then probate is not necessary.
Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone dies. To start the probate process, you need to file an Application for Probate in the probate court in the county where the decedent lived. In Maine, each county has its own probate court. If there is a Will, it needs to be submitted to the probate court.
If enough assets are categorized as nonprobate assets, that will ensure that the value of the probate estate remains below $51,100, 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.
There is no set minimum legal threshold for estates to avoid probate. Each bank or institution sets its own limit. This dictates whether family and loved ones of the deceased will require a Grant of Probate to access the funds held in the particular institution.

In Maine, the property of a resident who dies without a will is distributed under the rules of the state probate code. Some states require intestate heirs to survive the deceased for a certain time before they qualify for an inheritance. In Maine, this survival period is 120 hours (five days).
In Maine, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you ownreal estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (its similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a successor trustee).
