Probate is the official administration of your affairs upon death. The process varies state by state.The purpose is to ensure your wishes outlined in your last will and testament are accomplished, assets are appropriately distributed, and taxes and creditors are paid. The process varies state by state, but generally requires that you either fill out forms or appear in court to:
- prove that the decedent's will is valid (unless someone is contesting the will, this usually requires nothing more than presenting death certificate and copy of the will)
- obtain legal authority to act on behalf of the decedent
- inventory and value all decedent's property
- pay all decedent's debts and taxes
- distribute any remaining property according to the terms of the decedent's last will and testament
