PROBATE Meaning and
Definition
-
Probate refers to the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. When an individual dies, probate is typically necessary to ensure that the person's assets and liabilities are properly accounted for and distributed to their beneficiaries or heirs.
The probate process involves several steps, which may vary depending on the jurisdiction. Generally, it involves validating the deceased person's last will and testament, appointing an executor or personal representative, identifying and appraising the assets of the estate, settling outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries according to the instructions outlined in the will or determined by the laws of intestacy (if there is no will).
Probate requires filing various legal documents with the relevant court, providing notice to interested parties, and obtaining court approval for certain actions, such as the sale of assets. This process ensures that the transfer of property and assets is conducted in a lawful and orderly manner, and it also provides an opportunity for any claims or disputes to be resolved.
Probate can be a complex and time-consuming process, often involving legal assistance from attorneys specializing in estate planning and administration. While it can be a necessary step to safeguard the interests of the deceased person's beneficiaries, it can also involve costs and delays, leading some individuals to utilize strategies to avoid or minimize probate.

Etymology of PROBATE
The word "probate" originated from Latin, specifically from the word "probatum". "Probatum" is the neuter form of the past participle of the Latin verb "probare", which means "to prove" or "to test". In the context of probate, it refers to the process of proving or verifying a will after a person's death. The Latin term was later adopted into Old French as "probate", then into Middle English.
