Probate is the formal legal process of proving a will's validity and administering a deceased person's estate, which involves appointing an executor, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries under court supervision. The process is overseen by the probate court, which handles disputes, approves distributions, and ensures the deceased's final wishes are respected. Assets not subject to probate, such as those with beneficiary designations or held in a trust, are distributed directly to heirs, bypassing the formal court process
