Probate is a process that occurs following the death of a loved one, where final debts are paid and assets are transferred to heirs. Probate consists of:

• Legally establishing a will as valid before a judicial authority
• Collecting all property of the deceased
• Collecting any rights of the estate to income, dividends, etc.
• Settling the estate’s debts and paying taxes, in addition to settling other disputes
• Finally, transferring the remaining property to the rightful heirs
