Understanding the process for obtaining a will's probate is crucial. The High Court issues a Probate with its seal and a copy of the Will. After paying any pertinent court expenses based on the value of the assets, the executor of the will must file the petition for a probate with the proper court through an advocate (a pecuniary jurisdiction may require a higher court to grant a probate for high-value immovable assets).
A copy of a will that has been witnessed by a court representative and is accompanied by a grant of administration of the testator's assets is referred to as "probate." Only the executor named in the will is qualified for a probate. If the will mentions real estate in more than one state, a probate is also necessary.
