PROBATE

Overview

Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, ensuring assets are distributed according to their will or intestacy laws.

Eligibility

Executors named in a will or family members of the deceased may initiate probate.

Detailed Description

Lawyers guide executors through obtaining probate, paying debts, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries. They handle necessary legal filings, resolve disputes among beneficiaries, and ensure compliance with inheritance tax laws. If there is no will, legal professionals assist with applying intestacy rules to distribute the estate fairly.
