Probate law is a specialized area of law that deals with the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. When someone passes away, their assets, debts, and other financial affairs need to be settled and distributed. Probate is the court-supervised process by which this is accomplished. The primary objectives of probate are to validate the deceased person’s will (if there is one), pay outstanding debts and taxes, and distribute the remaining assets to the heirs or beneficiaries.
