Get Probate Authorization with a Will
Once all required paperwork has been submitted to Probate Court a hearing will be called to determine if the Last Will and Testament is valid.
Typically, this involves providing the judge with a notarized or sworn statement, or court testimony from a witness, along with a copy of the Will.
A hearing also allows other surviving family, Beneficiaries or Heirs to raise objections about the Will or nominated Executor.
When approved, the court will provide documents to the Executor to authorize the management of the Estate.
These documents are known as Letters of Testamentary.
