My wife recently passed away without a will. Everything we owned was in joint ownership. Cars, properties, bank accounts and retirement accounts. Everything transferred to me just by presenting the death certificate. I didn't have to spend a dime on lawyers and there was no probate.
What are the probate rules in Hawaii?
There are no federal probate laws. Probate in Hawaii is necessary when a person dies owning any real estate in his or her name alone, no matter how small the value of the real estate. Probate is also required when the total value of all “personal property” owned in his or her name alone is worth more than $100,000.
