Probate is the legal process that happens after someone passes away, where a court validates the will, if there is one, and oversees the distribution of their assets to heirs and beneficiaries. It can be lengthy and public, sometimes causing family stress, but it ensures debts are paid and property is transferred legally. Many people try to avoid probate with trusts or joint ownership.
