Probate is the legal process that your family must go through after you die. The Register of Wills' office and, if necessary, the Court of Chancery rules on the validity of a Will, makes certain your debts are paid, establishes clear title to your assets and then allows distribution of what is left. If you have a Will it will be in accordance to your Will. If you do not have a Will, a Personal Representative will be appointed to carry out the task of distribution of your property with the guidelines and supervision of the Court.
