What is probate?
Probate is the legal process for administering a deceased person’s estate. It involves validating the Will, appointing an executor, settling any debts, and distributing the assets to the beneficiaries. In the absence of a Will, probate includes identifying those entitled and distributing the estate according to intestacy laws. This process ensures the estate is managed and distributed in compliance with the deceased’s wishes or legal requirements.
