Probate Court Has Several Facets...

1. Wills
2. Estates & Trusts
3. Adoption
4. Guardianships - Name Changes

The Grantor and Testator are the same person. Wills are an essential method of ensuring a person's estate is distributed according to their wishes. The will should be designed to withstand the test of time and should be flexible enough to adapt to the changing desires and needs of the Grantor.
When a person passes without a will, the term is called Intestate. When a person passes, and there is a will, the term is to Probate the Will. There are several methods to avoid probating a will. Simply because a person has a will, does not mean the will must be probated.
