What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process that occurs after someone passes away. It involves proving the validity of a will through a routine court proceeding, identifying and inventorying the deceased’s estate, appraising assets, settling outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining estate according to the will. If no will is available, a process called administration is followed. This involves requesting a grant of administration to ensure the estate is distributed appropriately rather than defaulting to State laws. This process requires substantial documentation and paperwork.
