Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of someone who has passed away. It involves identifying and valuing the deceased's assets, paying any debts and taxes owed, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries named in the Will or according to the law. Probate is typically required when someone passes away with a Will in place or when they die without a Will and their estate exceeds a certain value.
