A Probate is a court process that validates a person's will and oversees the distribution of assets subject to the terms of the will. If a person dies without a valid will (intestate), the probate court will apply applicable state law to determine the estate's beneficiaries. The estate executor and attorney are eligible to receive fees for administering the estate through the probate process. Probate fees, and the time associated with the court process, vary by state and by the size of the estate. The probate court is a public process and estates that pass through the court will be a matter of public record.
If you are seeking legal services, you should consult a probate attorney. If you are the beneficiary of a probate, you can get a cash advance against the value of the probate.
