The state is Arizona. My father execute a self proving will in 1978 when he lived in Illinois which I have the original copy of in my posession. He moved to AZ 12 years ago. He died on 4/3/05. His will directs the executor to pay his debts, funeral expenses, taxes... and "all the rest, residue and remainder of my propery, real, personal and mixed, wherever situated and whether acquired before or after the execution of this will, I give devise and bequeath to my beloved wife (named) as her absolute property forever." My dad had two investments (1 Government bonds, and 1 IRA). The IRA lists my mom as the beneficiary the bond does not. Do we need to go thru probate just to get this moved into my mom's name?
