It depends. Were there any debts? Are there any children? However, usually jointly titled assets do not go through probate but that doesn't mean probate isn't necessary. It's possible but I would talk to an attorney to be sure.

It depends: Are there minor children? Are there stocks and bonds, pension plans etc. Those things require Letters of Administration.
