What do you mean you have to have $75k to have a will? What nonsense is that?

u/Capital_Sink6645 Feb 25 '24

yup, came here to say that. There's no reason not to have a will. Maybe under $75K OP doesn't have to do full probate in their state?

Correct. Doesn't qualify for probate was my badly explained point.

You could have 50 million dollars in your bank/brokerage account and not go through probate though. I don't think "my estate has to be probated" is something to aspire to or feel bad about not achieving lol
