What is a probate?

Probate is a court proceeding occurring after a person passes away. An appointed representative of an estate is given authority to gather the assets of the deceased, pay the bills, and distribute what remains to beneficiaries or heirs. Here at the Law Offices of Duane P. Booth, we realize the probate procedure can be difficult to deal with, especially after the loss of a loved one,  and our team strives to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
