How does the probate process work in Minnesota?

Minnesota's probate process is necessary for distributing a deceased individual's estate when ownership transfer is not automatically handled by a contract or beneficiary designation. It involves court supervision to authenticate a will, settle debts, and distribute assets to beneficiaries. This process can help ensure that assets are distributed according to the decedent's wishes as expressed in their will or, if no will exists, according to state intestacy laws. While probate can be time-consuming, utilizing local legal experts can ensure compliance with all specific procedural requirements in Minnesota.
