What is Probate and Why Does a Will Have To Go Through Probate?

What is Probate? Why does a Will have to go through Probate? In this video, Attorney L. Reed Bloodworth discusses the Probate Process and Why a Will Has to Go Through Probate.

Probate is the legal transference of titles of assets of the creator of a will, the testator, to the will’s beneficiaries. If there's an asset for which there is no beneficiary named -- which means there's not a Payable On Death beneficiary named within an asset -- then it has to go through probate.
