Probate
What is Probate?
After a person passes away, leaving nothing in writing, or just a Will, their property will be subjected to a legal process known as Probate. Probate is the court process involving the transfer of property to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries. Since the decedent can not longer transfer property themselves, a Court must issue an order to be able to transfer property.
