What happens during the probate court process?
The probate court process typically involves validating the deceased person's will, appointing an executor, inventorying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries. This court-supervised process can take several months to years depending on the estate's complexity and whether any disputes arise among beneficiaries or creditors.
