Will and probate law

Will and probate law is a specialist legal field which is concerned with ensuring that the wishes of the deceased are met. As such, a will sets out how a person's financial and other assets are to be distributed , and who will care for any children they are responsible for, in the event they die. Probate is the process of administering the deceased's estate such that the intention of the will is implemented in practice.
