Probate
Probate is a process which involves the transfer of property & assets, paying debts, and notifying beneficiaries. Probate is needed when beneficiaries are not named for all assets of one's estate; in which case, the remaining disbursements need to be decided in probate court. Probate proceedings may also involve contests to the Will or Trust, which are also settled in probate court.
