Probate will is a legal process of validating and executing a person's will after his or her death. This involves taking the will to court to establish the authenticity of the document and to ensure that the wishes of the deceased are followed. However, there are synonyms that can be used instead of the phrase probate will. These include the legal term "administering an estate," "grant of probate" or "letters of administration." Other commonly used synonyms are "executing a will," "distributing assets," or simply "settling a will." Whatever term is used, the process remains the same, which is to make sure the final wishes of the deceased are carried out in accordance with the law.
