In order to transfer someone's assets after their death, their estate usually needs to go through probate. Probate is the process of tranferring title from a deceased person to their successors and heirs. The probate process is overseen by a court. The primary two purporses of probate are to give a deceased person's creditors the opportunity to be paid, and to ensure that legal title to assets is clearly established.
