I would urge two things:

1. Do not relay on any state community property or estate laws to decide probate. Work with an estate planning attorney to set up the appropriate estate plan. My fil just went through this and a proper estate plan will create the outcome you desire, even if you’re not around.

2. Take forum advice as worth what you paid for it. Perhaps a steer in the right direction towards a good attorney is worthwhile, but use all other advice as simply input to be considered.
