It determines the legal validity of a will, oversees the distribution of assets to heirs, appoints guardians for minors or incapacitated adults, and resolves disputes over asset ownership or management of estates. Probate court serves as an impartial referee in this process, ensuring that all legal obligations are met and that all parties involved receive what is due to them. With its focus on protecting the interests of all involved, probate court is a valuable tool for keeping estate and trust administration fair and orderly.
