Dealing with the Estate of a loved one after their passing can be an overwhelming and a complex process.

Why Make A Will
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, ensuring that their assets are distributed according to their Will, or in accordance with the law if there is no Will. This process involves:
- Validating the Will (if there is one)
- Appointing an Executor or Administrator
- Identifying and valuing the Estate’s assets
- Paying any debts and taxes owed
- Distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries
