What is Probate?
When a person passes away, probate is the process of dealing with their estate, including their property, assets and debts according to their will. If you are the executor of the estate, you will need to follow specific rules through the probate process to ensure the estate is distributed. To do this, you will also need a Grant of Probate allowing you to take possession of the deceased’s assets.
