Description

Probate is the court‑supervised process that authorizes someone—usually a surviving spouse or close family member—to gather the deceased person’s assets, settle debts and taxes, and ultimately transfer property to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries.

In North Carolina, probate isn’t automatic. Whether it’s required depends entirely on what the person owned, how it was titled, and the value of the assets.
