Are probate records public?

Attorney Gadi Zohar explains:

Generally speaking. Yes. Probate records are public. If you want to avoid a public process where somebody can see things like your inventory and appraisal, which shows the assets that you owned and what they were worth at your death. You can get a revocable living trust or a living trust. And that would avoid the need for a probate process.

Otherwise, probate records are available to the public and anyone can see them.
