What is probate?
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. It involves proving the Will’s validity, appointing an executor, paying any outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the assets to the beneficiaries. If there is no Will, probate includes identifying those entitled and distributing the estate according to intestacy laws. This process ensures the estate is settled in accordance with the deceased’s wishes or legal guidelines.
