What is Probate?

 

Probate is a legal process that must be followed after someone passes away. It grants the legal authority to administer the deceased's estate and ensures that all aspects of their Will are properly managed. This process can involve a range of duties, including:

  • Sorting out claims against the estate
  • Distributing assets according to the Will
  • Managing the legal and financial affairs of the deceased

The probate process is essential before any estate administration can begin, and it’s critical that it is conducted with accuracy and attention to detail to avoid future complications.
