WHAT DOES PROBATE COURT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Probate court

A probate court is a specialized court that deals with matters of probate and the administration of estates. Probate courts administer proper distribution of the assets of a decedent, adjudicates the validity of wills, enforces the provisions of a valid will, prevents malfeasance by executors and administrators of estates, and provides for the equitable distribution of the assets of persons who die intestate, such as by granting a grant of administration giving judicial approval to the personal representative to administer matters of the estate. In contested matters, a probate court examines the authenticity of a will and decides who is to receive the deceased person's property. In a case of an intestacy, the court determines who is to receive the deceased's property under the law of its jurisdiction. The probate court will then oversee the process of distributing the deceased’s assets to the proper beneficiaries. In some jurisdictions, such courts are also referred to as orphans courts, or courts of ordinary. Not all jurisdictions have probate courts, in many places, probate functions are performed by a chancery court or another court of equity.
