Probate is the legal process that happens after someone dies, where their will is validated and their assets are distributed to heirs. It can feel overwhelming, but it's essentially a court-supervised way to ensure debts are paid and property goes to the right people. Without a will, state laws decide who gets what, which can delay things. Many families find it helpful to work with a lawyer to navigate the paperwork and avoid common pitfalls.
