Probate is the judicial process whereby a will is "proved" in a court of law and accepted as a valid public document that is the true last testament of the deceased

What is Probate?

• ​Probate is a legal procedure where a Court recognises that a deceased person’s last will is valid. The executor/s of the will apply to obtain probate from the court so that they have the legal authority to deal with the deceased person’s assets and liabilities and to distribute these as outlined in the will.

More Information 

The executor/s apply in writing to the Registrar of the High Court who then carries out probate, which involves proving that the will was genuine and made correctly and was properly signed by the deceased person and witnessed correctly. The Registrar also ensures that executors have been appointed.
