About
When someone passes away, probate is the way to make sure the things they owned go to the right person. It's a special process that transfers ownership of their stuff to the person who should have it according to the law.
If they had a will, the court follows the instructions in the will.
If they did not have a will, the court uses the probate code to decide who should get what. It's like a set of rules that helps the court figure out who should get the person's stuff when there's no written plan.
