Probate refers to the legal procedure that obtains the courts approval to officially recognize the WILL as the “Last Will and Testament” of the deceased. It also approves the executor as the legal representative of the estate. It is advisable to seek legal advice to determine whether probate is necessary.
This is a common question we get asked by families. We always recommend starting with at least 2-3 death certificates. Depending on the size of the estate you may need more, but do not worry we can always order more death certificates if you need them.
