If you own property at the time of your death the will must be probated and your estate becomes a public record. There is no way you can change that process. It is the law. If you have no will (intestate) and you own property at the time of your death your estate must be probated. The court will appoint an administrator and your estate will become part of the public record. The only way to keep your business private is to do some careful estate planning so that you own no property in your own name at the time of your death. Perhaps you should discuss it with an attorney who specializes in estate planning.
