Many people are still unaware of probate which can be considered as a legal process that takes place when a person dies. This legal process includes:

• Providing in court the valid will of the deceased person.
• Identifying the property of a deceased person.
• Paying taxes and debts of the deceased person.
• Having the deceased person’s property appraised.
• Distributing the property of the deceased person as directed in the will.

Probate usually involves paper works which are done by probate solicitors. The solicitors and court fees are usually paid from the deceased person’s estate property which would otherwise ideally go to the people inheriting the property
