Understanding Probate:
Probate is a legal procedure where the court officially recognizes the will of a deceased individual, granting the designated executor the authority to administer the estate. This process confirms the validity of the will, oversees the accurate distribution of assets, and ensures that all debts and taxes associated with the estate are settled appropriately.
