Probate

Probate is the process that transfers legal title of property from the estate of the person who has died (the โ€œdecedentโ€) to his or her proper beneficiaries. The term โ€œprobateโ€ refers to a โ€œprovingโ€ of the existence of a valid Will, or determining who the legal heirs are if there is no Will.

The probate process also provides for the collection of any taxes due by reason of the deceasedโ€™s death or on the transfer of his or her property. Additionally, it provides a mechanism for payment of outstanding debts owed by the decedent.
