What types of property pass under a Will or by Intestacy?

Generally, only assets which are not transferable by any other method are transferred by Will or intestacy. For example, if a piece of property was owned jointly or has a right of survivorship, ownership by a trust or other corporation, or other legal device, the property would not transfer under a Will or by intestacy. Additionally, life insurance proceeds and investments that designate beneficiaries also do not transfer by Will or by intestacy.
