> Certificate of Appointment & Probate

The probate process is the process by which a will is put into effect. When a person passes away, an executor is appointed to oversee the estate and to carry out the wishes of the deceased. The will must then be probated, when means that a court must assess the distribution of estate assets, the validity of the will (if challenged), and the income tax liability that arises as a result of the death. The probate process can sometimes be long and complicated and the lawyers at PLZ Law can help.
