Probate is the legal proceeding by which the court determines the validity of a will, creates an administration in cases where the deceased did not leave a will, and/or determines the legal heirs of a deceased person. Additionally, the probate court establishes guardianships for incapacitated persons and minors; supervises the administration of the estates of deceased persons, incapacitated persons, and minors; hears matters involving inter vivos, testamentary, and charitable trusts; hears all cases involving civil mental health commitments; and eminent domain cases.
