Probate is a legal procedure used to settle the estate left by a deceased person.
During the inventory, all the assets (such as real estate, vehicles, bank accounts) and liabilities (debts) left by the deceased are collected.
Probate can be carried out judicially or extrajudicially, depending on the circumstances and the existence of a will.
It is essential to guarantee the legal transfer of assets to the heirs and the regularization of the estate situation after death, and can even be used to register non-existent assets, as in the case of a negative inventory.
