Does all property go through probate when a person dies?

Superior Court of California, County of Alameda
No. The term "probate estate" refers to any property subject to the authority of the probate court. Assets distributed outside the probate process are part of a person's "non-probate estate." California has "simplified procedures" for transferring property for estates worth under a certain amount (from $20,000 to $100,000 depending on the circumstances and the kind of property).

When a person dies, are his/her assets all 'frozen' and unavailable tot he family?

City of Meriden: FAQ
In the overwhelming number of cases involving joint and survivorship assets between the decedent and family members, funds are immediately available to the survivors without court approval. However, assets in the name of the decedent alone may not be used until an executor or administrator is appointed, which, in most cases, takes only one to two weeks. Thereafter, such assets may be used to pay proper debts and expenses. A family car may be used immediately with permission of the court.

A friend or family member may not render the message faithfully or accurately and may not keep it confidential. There is no guarantee that effective communication will take place.

Can a family member become a person's In-Home Aide?

NC Division of Aging and Adult Services-Frequently Asked Que...
In some limited situations a family member may be paid as a person's aide. That person would need to meet all the training and competency testing requirements of any other aide, and the agency providing and supervising the service would have to be willing to hire the family member. Some agencies choose not to use family members as paid service providers at all. Often it is not in the best interest of either the person needing help or the family member for that person to be the paid aide.
