[WSBAPT] Any way to avoid probate if there is a testamentary trust provision in the will?

[Setareh Mahmoodi]

Hello,

I think the answer to this is no and I am doing further research this
weekend, but just wanted to know if someone else has dealt with this issue
previously:

Is there a way to avoid probate if the will has a testamentary trust
provision that directs the life insurance policy proceeds to be placed in
trust for the benefit of minor children?

The remainder of everything in the estate goes to the spouse. I believe
there is a residence, another life insurance policy that goes directly to
spouse and some tangible items all going to surviving spouse.

Thanks,

Setareh
