Probate is usally done on people who have died and have not left any will or testament as to how their estate is supposed to be distributed. So the state takes over to decide for them specially if there is a lot of money, property, or anything of value where they might be relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, or even the government who want a piece of it. The probate court decides how the estate is going to be distriubted.
