When a person passes away, they generally leave behind assets such as property or bank accounts, and sometimes debts. These form part of the person's "estate" and must be managed by the appointed Executor. Probate is the legal process that validates the deceased's final Will and authorises the Executor to administer the estate.
What does an Executor do?
The Executor named in the Will is responsible for paying off debts, collating assets, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries as directed by the Will. This process begins with applying for a Grant of Probate from the Supreme Court.
