nonprobate

Read a random definition: Copyright Act of 1976

A quick definition of nonprobate:

Nonprobate refers to a way of passing on property after someone dies that is not through a will. It can include things like joint ownership or beneficiary designations. Nonprobate assets are the things that are passed on this way. An asset is something that someone owns that has value, like money or property. There are different types of assets, like fixed assets (things used in a business) or current assets (things that can be easily turned into cash). Some assets are hard to sell or not worth anything, like a debt that can't be collected.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Nonprobate refers to a method of transferring property after someone dies, which is not done through a will. It can also refer to the property that is transferred in this way.

Examples: Nonprobate assets can include things like joint bank accounts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts. These assets are transferred directly to the designated beneficiary without going through probate court. This means that the beneficiary can receive the assets more quickly and without the need for legal proceedings.

Explanation: When someone dies, their property and assets are usually distributed through a legal process called probate. However, some assets can be transferred directly to a designated beneficiary without going through probate court. These assets are called nonprobate assets. Examples of nonprobate assets include joint bank accounts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts. These assets are transferred directly to the designated beneficiary, which can save time and money compared to going through probate court.
