What Is Probate?

 
Probate is the legal process of administering someone’s estate after death. It usually involves:
• Identifying and valuing assets
• Paying debts, bills, and inheritance tax
• Distributing the estate according to the will (or intestacy rules if no will exists)
 
Many families find probate straightforward for small estates, but when property, businesses, or disputes are involved, working with experienced Probate Solicitors Newry is essential.
