A probate estate is all the assets a person owns at his or her death that are subject to probate administration. Probate administration is the process of proving to a probate court that the will is genuine. As per law, assets owned by the deceased in his own name, tenants in common and assets payable to the estate are the one which are included in the probate estate valuation. Accordingly, value of house ($ 3200000) + auto ($25000) + stock portfolio ($6000000) would be included in the value of probabte estate.

Bank accounts, JTWROS and 4015 vested account name with son as ben. shall not be included in the valuation of $ 9,225,000

Gross estate is the total dollar value of an individual’s property and assets at the time of their death. The gross estate figure does not reflect liabilities such as debt owed and taxes. When those charges are deducted, the sum figure represents the net value of individual’s estate. Thus value of gross estate include all of the above assets valuing $ 14,225,000
