Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered and distributed according to their will or, if they died without a will, through Kentucky’s intestate succession laws. The primary purpose of probate is to ensure that a deceased person’s assets are transferred to their beneficiaries or heirs, and any outstanding debts or taxes are paid. In Kentucky, there are a few time limitations and deadlines associated with the probate process that executors, administrators, and claimants must be aware of. These time limitations are essential to ensure the efficient administration of the estate and to protect the interests of all parties involved.
