Probate is the court-supervised process used to settle a person's estate after death. It involves confirming the validity of a will (if one exists), identifying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing property to heirs or beneficiaries. For many families, probate comes at an already difficult time. The legal requirements, deadlines, and paperwork can feel confusing and burdensome - especially while you are grieving.

​
