Will substitutes

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-005237

Legal arrangements that transfer property upon death outside of the probate process, effectively bypassing the need for a will to distribute those specific assets.

Common examples include living trusts, joint tenancy with right of survivorship, and payable-on-death accounts.
