Probate Court
Probate Court is a specialized court that handles matters related to the estate of a deceased person. This includes validating the deceased's will, if one exists, and overseeing the distribution of their assets according to the law or the will's instructions. The court ensures that debts and taxes are paid before the remaining assets are distributed to heirs or beneficiaries.
In addition to handling wills, Probate Court also addresses issues like guardianship for minors or incapacitated individuals. It ensures that the rights and interests of these individuals are protected, making decisions that are in their best interest under the law.
