What is Probate?
Probate is a legal process that occurs after someone passes away, involving the validation and distribution of their assets according to their will or state law. It typically involves proving the validity of the deceased person's will, identifying and appraising their property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.
While probate ensures the orderly transfer of assets, it can also be time-consuming, costly, and subject to court oversight.
