Families may be surprised to learn that a valid will does not automatically transfer everything after someone passes away. Sometimes, probate administration may still be required before assets can be properly distributed.
Probate administration is the court-supervised process that helps:
🔹Verify the validity of a will.
🔹Identify heirs and beneficiaries.
🔹Gather and inventory estate assets.
🔹Notify creditors and review claims.
🔹Distribute property according to the will or state law when there is no will.
Probate is more than paperwork. It is an important legal process designed to ensure that assets are transferred correctly and that outstanding obligations are properly addressed before distribution occurs.
