What Is Probate

Probate is the legal process of validating a will, settling debts, and transferring property to heirs. Each estate is unique, and the requirements depend on state laws, the type of assets involved, and whether a valid will exists. Our firm helps you understand what needs to be done so you can focus on what matters most.
