Depends...was there a community property agreement that contained a vesting clause?

Subject: [WSBAPT] Probate or no probate

Hi, there is a situation where H & W held real property as "husband and wife". W passes away and H wants to transfer 100% interest in the real property into a trust. W did not leave a Will. I assume we would need to go through probate to transfer 50% interest in the real property to H first, before H can make the transfer of 100% interest. Correct?

Thanks,
