What is Probate? Make a Will Online.
Probate is the name given to the overall process of administering an estate after death, which will always cover the collection of assets, the payment of liabilities, and the distribution to the beneficiaries of the estate and also may include obtaining a grant of probate and filing in an inheritance tax form.
The government has developed rules to make sure that in the process of probate, the Executors strictly follow the instructions in the Will and also meet all inheritance tax liabilities, and other government duties.
If no valid Will has been made, then the individual dies 'intestate' (or a Will which the probate courts do not recognise as valid).
