WHAT IS PROBATE?

The court process following a person's death that includes:

  • appointing someone to handle the deceased person's affairs
  • identifying and inventorying the deceased person's property
  • paying debts and taxes
  • identifying heirs of the deceased, and
  • distributing the deceased person's property according to the will or, if there is no will, according to state law.
