What is Probate?
Probate is a court supervised legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered and their assets are distributed according to their will or, in the absence of a will, according to state laws. It involves validating the will, appointing an executor or administrator to manage the estate, settling outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to heirs and beneficiaries. Probate can be time-consuming and costly, always involving court proceedings, but it serves to ensure a structured and lawful transfer of assets, providing transparency and legal protection for all parties involved in the estate settlement process.
