What Is Probate?

A person is writing on a clipboard with a pen, while others sit nearby for a discussion or consultation.

Probate is the court-supervised process of:

Validating the will

A check mark inside a gray circle

Identifying and inventorying assets

A circular icon with a check mark inside.

Paying debts and taxes

A checkmark inside a circle on a blue background

Distributing property to beneficiaries

A dark blue circle with a black check mark inside it.

Some estates are simple. Others are complex and require more detailed administration. We handle both.
