Probate means a copy of the Will, certified under the seal of a competent Court with a grant of administration of the estate to the executor of the testator. It is the official evidence of an executor's authority.

A probate granted by a competent court is conclusive evidence of the validity of a Will until it is revoked and no evidence can be admitted to impeach it except in a proceeding to revoke the probate. However, it only establishes the legal character of the executor and in no way decides the title or even the existence of the property devised. The grant of the probate decides only the genuineness of the Will and the executors right to represent the estate.

  • The grant of a probate is conclusive evidence of the testamentary capacity of the person who made the Will.
  • A probate is conclusive as to the genuineness of the Will and appointment of the executors.
  • Once a probate is granted, no suit will lie for a declaration that the testator was of unsound mind.
  • Probate is conclusive as to the representative title of the executor.

Consult an advocate and get the will proabated by a Court of Law
