What Is Probate?

Probate refers to the official process in which the estate of a deceased person is settled - legally divided or passed on - through court proceedings. It is the formal legal process that gives recognition to a will if the deceased left one, and appoints the executor or personal representative. Generally, one person, appointed by the court and nominated by the deceased person's will or often a close family member if there is no will, is named as executor or personal representative. This person has legal authority to handle all of the assets of the person who has died. Probate proceedings ensure the deceased's assets and debts are properly managed and ensures that the correct heirs receive the proceeds of the estate.
