The Probate Process & Next Steps

Probate is simply the process of verifying a will and court supervision of the administration of the estate. If there are not disputes over aspects of the will, probate can often be a relatively simple process. However, disputes often arise between heirs, sometimes over minor items. It is best to identify such disputes early in the process and resolve them before they get out of hand.
