To decide whether probate is necessary for a particular estate, the individual's assets must be identified and valued. If the probate estate has a total value (value of probate assets minus any liens and encumbrances) of $40,000 or less and does not include any real property, then probate is not necessary.

Much of the time, probate will be necessary for estates in Maine. The court is required to ensure the assets of the estate are handled as directed by the will or by state law. Some assets may be exempt from probate with automatic transfer to the heirs.

Certain kinds of property can be passed without going through probate. Property owned with a ?Right of Survivorship? automatically transfers to the joint owner at death and that person owns the property fully. Property can also pass through a Trust established during the decedent's lifetime.
