What is Probate?
Probate is a legal process that occurs after an individual passes away, involving the validation and execution of their will. It encompasses the administration of the deceased’s estate, settling outstanding debts, and distributing assets to the rightful heirs. Navigating probate can be complex, requiring a thorough understanding of legal procedures, financial matters, and effective communication with all involved parties.
