Probate Court

Probate Court is a specialized division of District Courts that focuses on matters related to the administration of estates after someone's death. Its main functions include validating wills, appointing executors or administrators to manage the deceased's assets, and overseeing the distribution of those assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The court ensures that the legal process is followed, any debts or taxes are settled, and that heirs receive their rightful inheritances. Probate can also handle guardianships and conservatorships for minors or incapacitated individuals.
