The classification of assets is at the foundation of property law. Real property refers to land and anything permanently attached to it, such as buildings or natural resources. These are fixed assets that cannot be easily moved or altered.
Non-Probate Assets bank or brokerage accounts that are held jointly or with a payable-on-death beneficiary designation to a surviving person; investment or retirement accounts or insurance policies that have a designated beneficiary other than the decedent that survives the decedent; or. property held in a trust.
Your land, houses, buildings, fences, or trees—anything permanently attached to the land—are all considered real property.
The bequest clause directs who receives specific property or assets and how it will be distributed. The residuary clause indicates how any remaining property or assets that are not specifically bequeathed to individuals will be distributed.
Minnesota law does not set a specific timeline for settling an estate, but it generally should be done as "expeditiously and efficiently as is compatible with the best interests of the estate." Delays can result in additional expenses and even legal repercussions for the executor.
REAL PROPERTY Land and things attached to land; buildings, fences, walls, trees, growing crops, etc.
First and foremost, there are a number of asset types that typically do not pass through probate. This includes life insurance policies, bank accounts, and investment or retirement accounts that require you to name a beneficiary.
You can simply provide the street address or, for unimproved property, the name by which it is commonly known. For example: my condominium at 123 45th Avenue. my summer home at 84 Memory Lane in Oakville.
If your personal property exceeds $75,000 or you own real estate in your name alone, your estate must be probated.
Does my will need to be notarized? No, in Minnesota, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. But Minnesota lets you make your will "self-proving." If you want to do that you need to go to a notary. A self-proving will helps prove that your will is valid if it is contested in court.
