Probate is a legal process that occurs after someone passes away, involving the validation of their will (if one exists) and the administration of their estate according to the will or applicable inheritance laws if there is no will. The process begins with filing the will in probate court to confirm its authenticity and appointing an executor (named in the will) or an administrator (if there is no will) to manage the estate. The executor or administrator is responsible for identifying and valuing the deceased’s assets, paying off any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.
