Joel A. Schoenmeyer

Probate is a court process for wrapping up a deceased person's affairs. The probate process will vary from state to state; the following discussion centers on Illinois law. If the person died with a valid will, the court will appoint the executor named in the will to take care of the deceased person's affairs. The executor will collect the decedent's probate property, use it to pay the decedent's bills, and then distribute whatever remains as provided in the will. (For a discussion of what constitutes "probate property," please see question 3 on my Estate Planning page.)
