We discuss the probate process. Probate is a court case wherein the probate court oversees the administration of an estate in order to ensure proper payment to heirs and creditors. If probate is necessary, your attorney will follow these steps to administer the estate through the probate court. The probate process is slightly different depending on whether the decedent had a will in place at the time of death. If there is a will in place, the estate is called a Testate Estate. If the decedent died without a will, the estate is called an Intestate Estate. This article will deal with probate administration of a Testate Estate. In a future article, I will address the differences between administering a Testate Estate and an Intestate Estate, so please stay tuned.
