When someone dies and they've left behind real estate, securities, or other assets, their estate usually has to go through probate to transfer those assets to their heirs and beneficiaries. Probate is the court-supervised process where a decedent's assets are gathered, inventoried, and appraised, appropriate parties are given notice, final bills and taxes are paid, and the assets ultimately distributed according to the decedent's Will or, if there was no Will, according to the State's laws of intestate succession.
