My mom died and left her house to her three children in a will. We all live in the house. Is there a way to avoid probate?

To the best of my knowledge, all wills need to be probated. Any funds left POD and annuities don't have to be probated.

Maybe someone else will know better than me.

That's what I think, too. Sorry about your mom.

I can only give you my personal experience. My mom also left her house to me and my two brothers. I was the executor of the will. I used an attorney who handled everything. It was very fast and she took care of all of the tax filings. It also didn't cost very much in the scheme of things. It was well worth the money having someone who knew exactly what needed to be done.

Thanks for the advice guys. Can any attorney handle this or is it best to seek out a real estate attorney?

You should contact an attorney familiar with wills and the probate process in NJ (or New Zealand for Tarannum).
I found this site on google which has some basic things to consider when looking for a lawyer.
