What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person by resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person's property under the valid will.
Why Is Probate Necessary?
The probate process is designed to ensure that a person’s assets and estate are distributed and transferred in accordance to their will upon death, and that the will is valid.
The probate court will also deal with any issues relating the contest or invalidity of the will prior to distributing any assets. All taxes and debts that were owed by the decedent are taken from the estate that is left, and probate will also deal with these issues.
