Each state has different requirements for the probate process. Generally, before wills can be accepted as genuine they are authenticated by a Probate Court. A personal representative (or executor) is named to administer the estate. For people who die intestate - that is, without a last will and testament, an administrator is typically appointed by the probate court to take responsibility for evaluating the decedent's assets and debts, paying creditors, and turning over the balance to heirs, who are determined according to state law.
