What is Probate Law?
Probate law encompasses the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. It involves validating the deceased person's will, if one exists, and overseeing the distribution of assets to beneficiaries. If there is no will, the probate court will follow the laws of intestacy to determine asset distribution.
