Annuities with designated beneficiaries generally do not become part of the estate and are not subject to probate, as they pass directly to the beneficiaries upon the annuitant's death. However, if there are no named beneficiaries or if the estate is named as the beneficiary, the annuity could be forced into the estate and subject to probate. Additionally, certain legal or tax situations may also affect how an annuity is treated in relation to the estate. It's advisable to consult a legal professional for specific cases.
