Hi, the deceased has a will leaving everything to one party. They also hold a substantial joint share holding with this party. I know with joint holdings the beneficiary is the surviving joint holder. In this situation though does the value of the joint holding require to be added to probate and form part of the total value of the estate?

Joint assets don't form part of an estate, because there is no divisible share in the asset.
