A certificate of deposit is a type of savings certificate that entitles the owner to collect the balance including interest after its maturity date. A certificate of deposit in and of itself does not avoid probate. However, depending on how the certificate is titled, probate may be avoided by adding a beneficiary to the account. The owner of the certificate can name a "payable on death" beneficiary to the account at the time the certificate is issued.
