Probate is the legal process of proving and executing a person’s will after they pass away. It involves validating the will, identifying and inventorying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries according to the instructions in the will. Essentially, it’s the way the court ensures that a deceased person’s final wishes are carried out smoothly and fairly. ⚖️💼 #EstateAdministration #EstatePlanning #Probate #Permission #Authorisation #SmallEstate #Estate #littlebitsoflaw

Ever wondered who handles the nitty-gritty of Inheritance Tax? Look no further than the executor of the estate.
It’s their responsibility to accurately assess the value of all assets, crunch the numbers to calculate the owed Inheritance Tax, and ensure it’s settled before distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
A crucial role indeed in the estate administration process! 🔍💡
