What is probate and when is it necessary?

Probate is a legal process that occurs after someone passes away. Through this process, the court (known as the Surrogate Court) confirms the validity of the will and the executor’s authority to manage and distribute the deceased person's estate, settle debts, and handle any remaining financial matters.

The question of when probate is required largely depends on the assets owned by the deceased, known as their estate. If they executor owned assets of significant value or real estate as sole owner, probate is generally required, and the executor may only deal with these assets after a grant of probate is obtained.
