What is Probate?

Probate is the official proving of a will, through a court-supervised process that determines who inherits a deceased person’s assets. If a person passes away without creating a will and testament or without leaving their property to an heir, the court can take over and sell their remaining property.

The probate process works to protect smaller states, especially for those who have passed away without a last will or testament. It provides a step-by-step process to insure the correct heirs (or beneficiaries) inherit the decedent’s property. However, the process can be both lengthy and stressful for the parties involved. Mike and his team can help with this process, and assist in both buying and selling probate properties.
