Probate

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person by resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person’s property under the valid will. A surrogate court decides the validity of a testator’s will. A probate interprets the instructions of the deceased, decides the executor as the personal representative of the estate, and adjudicates the interests of heirs and other parties who may have claims against the estate.

Probate is a process that generally takes at least 6 months to complete and is required in both West Virginia and Kentucky for all deceased persons who own real or personal property at the time of their death.
