After someone has passed away, the probate process begins, which includes the validation of their Will and the distribution of the estate that they have left. This process also involves evaluating and proving that their Will is authentic. If the individual did not leave a Will behind, then the estate will then be distributed according to intestacy laws. The probate process is a necessary and important part of transferring assets, property, and possessions according to the deceased person’s wishes, whilst following a strict timeline.
