The probate process may be confusing, but at its core it is really just taking the assets of a deceased person and distributing the inheritance as determined in the estate plan.
Although the deceased person may have a will, the courts must decide if it is valid.
They also must make sure all of the deceased person's debts and taxes are paid.
It is important to note that even if you die intestate, or without a will, your estate will still go through the probate process, and a judge will appoint a personal representative in the place of an executor.
