Probate: What is it?

When someone passes away with or without a Will, the process of distributing the deceased’s assets to beneficiaries and settling debt against the estate is called Probate. Probate proceedings happen in a Probate court. If there is a Will, the person named in the Will to execute the instructions, called the Executor, will be overseeing the Probate process from start to finish, making necessary court appearances, and paying court fees. If there isn’t a Will, the court appoints the executor to manage the Probate process.

Executor Responsibilities

Executors in charge of managing the Probate process are obligated to complete a series of responsibilities in order to see Probate through. Some of the duties required of an Executor is to notify heirs, inventory the assets for appraisal and distribution, as well as settle the financial matters of the estate, which includes settling any debt and filing and paying estate taxes.
