A last will is a legal document in which a person states how his/her property has to be distributed upon his/her death and appoints an executor of the will. After the person’s death, the property goes through probate. During probate, the validity of the will is studied by the court. When it is determined, the executor transfers the property of the deceased person to his/her heirs with a fiduciary deed.
Suppose the grandmother died in the hospital. In her will, she asked to give the summer house to her grandson and distribute her other property between her daughter and her granddaughter. She appointed the granddaughter as her executive. The granddaughter will be managing the property during the period of probate. And when it is over, she will transfer the property to her mother, brother, and herself with fiduciary deeds.
