  2. What is Probate? Probate is the legal process of transferring property following a person’s death. Although probate customs and laws have changed over time, the purpose has remained much the same: an individual formalizes their intentions as to the transfer of their property at the time of their death (typically through a Will), their property is collected, certain debts are paid from the estate and the property is distributed accordingly.

  3. There is no legal requirement that anyone has a Will, but it gives you an opportunity to make your wishes are known, such as the distribution of assets, who is to serve as guardian of your children, where they are to be educated, etc. A Will also gives you the opportunity to exercise your generosity toward the various religious, charitable, and educational institutions that have earned your respect and admiration over the years. ➢ Without a Will or a Trust, it will be the government, and not you, who will decide how your property and possessions are distributed. Good estate planning is more than just a simple Will. ➢
