  • What is probate?

    Probate is the process of legally legitimizing your will and ensuring its enforcement after you have passed. Even the most diligently prepared will must go through the probate process to ensure fairness and proper distribution of assets. A court approves your will and grants an “executor” the legal power to distribute assets in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. Contesting of the will is done in probate court and overseen by a judge.
