When a person dies, the property he/she owned at death is often referred to as his/her estate. Since a will controls the disposition of the probate estate, its validity - or invalidity - can impact on who will ultimately inherit the estate. In almost all states, probate courts (or similar type courts) have the power to accept or deny the admission of a will to probate. In addition, probate courts are responsible for the proper administration and distribution of probate estates.
Understanding estates and the role of the probate court with respect to estates, is helpful to understand the effects and implications of a will contest.
