Do I have to go through probate for all inherited assets in Kentucky?
Not all inherited assets require probate in Kentucky. Assets held in revocable living trusts, jointly owned property with survivorship rights, and accounts with named beneficiaries typically bypass probate entirely. However, assets owned solely in the deceased person's name generally must go through Kentucky's probate process. Creating a trust can help your family avoid probate delays and keep inheritance matters private.
