PROBATE

One of the most important processes involved is to probate. This process involves certifying the will under the seal of competent court authorities allowing the transfer of property to the beneficiaries. A probate process is mostly required to verify the genuineness of the will and if there is not dispute between the legal heirs as to the contents of the will then there might not be any need to probate.
