Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone passes away, where their Will is proved as valid in a court of law. In Malaysia, this involves obtaining a Grant of Probate (GP) from the High Court.
The 3-Step Probate Process:
1
Application: Executor files for Grant of Probate at the High Court.
2
Verification: Court verifies the Will and the Executor's authority.
3
Distribution: Executor settles debts and distributes assets to beneficiaries.
Once the Grant of Probate is issued, the Executor has the legal authority to manage the deceased's assets—this includes paying off any outstanding debts or taxes and eventually distributing the remainder to the beneficiaries as specified in the Will.
