In Arkansas, probate is the legal process by which the property and assets owned by a deceased person individually, without any joint ownership or joint rights of survivorship, known as probate assets are administered by the Court either through a Last Will and Testament or through the Arkansas laws of intestacy, the probate assets are accounted for, inventoried, and eventually distributed to the lawful heirs of the deceased individual.
In Arkansas, the probate process is a minimum of six months; however, a lot happens during that six-month period.
