Probate, Wills, and Trusts
It is universally true that we are all going to die. However, we can plan in life how our property is distributed upon our death. Probate is the process where someone with a Will dies and the Will is the map for where the assets of the deceased person will go after the payment of all the bills and expenses of probate. The Probate Court in the county in which the decedent lived has the jurisdiction to supervise the gathering of assets, payment of bills, and distribution of what is left to the lawful heirs of the decedent or the person or persons named in the Last Will and Testament of the decedent.
If the person has a Trust instead of a Will, then the terms of that Trust would apply and the Trustee, who is the head person administering the Trust, would then gather the assets, pay all outstanding bills and expenses, and then distribute the assets per the terms of the Trust.
