Probate is the legal process whereby a Will is “proved” in a court and is accepted as valid public document that is the true last testament of the deceased.
When a person dies, there is someone who needs to manage the amount left behind. This person is the executor, who is usually named in the will itself. The probate can only be granted to the executor by the courts.
A probated will assumes significance in the sense that it establishes the legal character of the executor as the person responsible for implementing the contents of the will.
The probate process is the first step towards resolving claims and distributing the amount of the deceased. There are also some cases in which a will/testament has not been executed and hence the amount becomes an unclaimed property.
This where our expertise comes in.
