Overview. North Dakota has adopted the Uniform Probate Code, which allows a person to informally probate a Will and have a personal representative appointed without the necessity of a court appearance or a court hearing, as long as the proper forms are filed and the correct procedures followed.
In North Dakota, the following assets are subject to probate: Solely-owned property: Any asset that was solely owned by the deceased person with no designated beneficiary is subject to probate. This could include bank accounts, cars, houses, personal belongings, and business interests.
In North Dakota, you must file probate within three years of the individual's passing. Filing within three years allows you to qualify for informal probate or affidavit. If you wait longer than three years to file, the estate has to go through normal probate.
Some assets may not need to be included in probate if they have a named beneficiary. However, North Dakota does allow for an informal probate process which is a simplified version. If the value of the estate is less than $50,000, probate may be avoided.
The surviving spouse who is a devisee of the decedent has the highest priority for consideration as the personal representative in informal probate proceedings.
In North Dakota, real estate can be transferred via a TOD deed, otherwise known as a beneficiary deed. This deed permits a property owner to designate a beneficiary who will automatically inherit the property upon the owner's death, avoiding probate.
