Probate

The probate process allows the personal representative named in the will to be appointed and transfer the probate assets to the intended recipients. It ensures that creditors are paid in a timely fashion and disallows creditor claims after proper notice has been given. If the decedent had a will, the personal representative will receive Letters of testamentary. If the decedent died intestate, or without a will, the personal representative will receive Letters of administration.
