    Firstly, let’s discuss what probate is. Probate is the first step in administering an estate. It's the judicial process by which a will is “proved” in court to be a valid legal document and the last will and testament of the deceased. It's also the process that officially appoints an executor, if one is specified in the will. If no executor is specified in the will, the court can appoint one.
