How do you file probate?

The answer will depend upon the laws where the person lived (or owned property) and the circumstances of the estate. There are volumes written to assist executors with the overview of the process and how to select and manage any necessary legal assistance.Basically, the first question is whether there is an "estate" that needs to be probated, and if so, where is the will, and if no will, what are the local rules of intestacy. After that, the possibilities quickly expand (immediate debts and expenses, ongoing business, taxes of decedent, taxes of estate, community property, joint tenants, foreign holdings, no heirs found, pretermitted heirs, priority of gifts, real estate descent, generation skipping, and so forth).In the simplest case, there are no remaining debts, no estate taxes, and everything was put into joint tenancy (or other ownership), meaning there is no estate and no reason to take it to probate.
