A will is a legal document by which people may designate the names of those individuals or organizations to which their assets should be distributed at death. When someone dies, a person must be appointed by a court to act as the representative of the deceased. Probate is the process of having a court authenticate the will as valid and appoint a legal representative to act on behalf of the estate to pay creditors and distribute the deceased person’s assets.
