Understanding The Probate Process
Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone passes. It involves:
- Validating the deceased's will: If there is a will, the court reviews it to ensure it's valid. If there isn't, the estate is distributed according to state law.
- Appointing an executor or administrator: This person is responsible for managing and distributing the deceased's assets.
- Identifying and inventorying the deceased's property: All assets are identified, assessed, and appraised.
- Paying debts and taxes: The executor uses the estate's assets to pay off any outstanding debts and taxes.
- Distributing the remaining assets: After all debts and taxes are paid, the remaining assets are distributed according to the will or state law.
- Closing the estate: Once all other steps have been completed, the probate process concludes.
