Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone dies. It ensures property and possessions are given to the correct people, and any taxes or debts owed are paid in full.
If there’s a written will, the court checks that it was signed and witnessed correctly and is valid, and then makes sure the directions in the will are carried out.
