Definition

The legal process of validating a deceased person's will and authorizing an executor to distribute the estate. If a property owner dies, probate (granted by the High Court in NZ) is often required before their property can be sold or transferred to heirs, as it confirms the executor's authority to act on behalf of the estate."
