What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person's estate, which may include:

• Validating the will (if one exists)

• Identifying and inventorying assets

• Paying debts and taxes

• Distributing property to beneficiaries

If a loved one dies without a will, their estate is distributed according to Alabama’s intestate succession laws. Regardless of the situation, probate often involves detailed paperwork, court filings, and legal timelines that can be overwhelming without professional help.
