Probate is the legal process of settling the estate of a deceased person and involves sorting out all claims and distributing the property according to the wishes of the deceased.

The Probate document is issued to the executor or other administrator and gives them the authority to administer the estate.

The Executor of the Will is responsible for:

• Collecting in the assets.
• Settling any debts
• Distributing the estate in accordance with the terms of the Will
• Proving the Will

The thought of carrying out these tasks may seem overwhelming to those charged with the duty, particularly at such a sad time.
