Probate is the term used to identify the court proceeding necessary to administer the estate of a deceased person. A probate proceeding is used in both testate (when the decedent has a will) and intestate (when the decedent does not have a will) circumstances. In a probate proceeding, the deceased person's assets are gathered, applied to pay debts, taxes and expenses of administration, and distributed to designated beneficiaries, devisees or heirs.
