Probate LawProbate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person by resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person's property under the valid will. A surrogate court decides the validity of a testator's will. A probate interprets the instructions of the deceased, decides the executor as the personal representative of the estate, and adjudicates the interests of heirs and other parties who may have claims against the estate.

Probate Administration ProblemsMany a person is not aware that he faces probate problems until he serves as the executor of a will. Only then does he realize that the testamentary will may be several years (or decades) old and does not clearly direct the dispensation of all of the deceased's assets. If you have been named an executor, you should contact an experienced probate law attorney to review and discuss the contents and directives of the will.
