Before the estate comprising a will can be passed on as set out in the will (by the executor) the exact size of the estate has to be recorded, all bills settled and all taxes due on the estate have to be payed (income tax and inheritance tax).

The will (and proof that this has been done) has then to be presented to a probate court (which will keep the original will as a public record) which grants probate on the will.

The probate is a document from the court formally authorizing the executor to sell property, transfer assets etc as set out in the will.

The probate document is sent, along with the executors instructions to the organizations holding the assets. Without the probate document the organizations can not legally act on the executors instructions.

What does bated mean?

Nothing to do with bait, of course (as in, the cat ate a lump of cheese and waited outside the mousehole with baited breath). In fact, BATED is short for ABATED, or ceased; it just means holding your breath. Bated breath is breathing that is difficult because of emotion.
