Probate | Hearth Home

What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone passes away. It ensures that their debts are paid and assets are distributed according to their will or, if no will exists, according to state law. While it may sound complex, probate is simply about transferring ownership in a fair and lawful way.

Why it Matters?

Probate provides structure during a difficult time. It protects families, ensures that financial matters are handled correctly, and gives everyone peace of mind knowing their loved one’s wises are honored.

You don’t have to go through probate alone. Hearth & Home offers community workshops and consultations to help you navigate the process with confidence.
