Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person’s assets and estate are administered and distributed after their death. The primary goals of the probate process are to ensure that the deceased person’s debts are paid, taxes are settled, and their remaining assets are distributed to the rightful beneficiaries or heirs. The Probate process is handled by the clerk of the court in the county where the deceased person resided.
