Formal probate is a court process that allows the Personal Representative to transfer the property of a person who died to the persons who are supposed to receive it with more court involvement.
Probate is a fancy word for a procedure through which assets are legally passed. For very large estates the probate process can be a complex procedure, but for most people, it is a very simple formality. Probate is really just a judge giving legal permission for assets to be passed on, whether or not there is a last will.
