Wills and probate are all about what will happen to a person's possessions, money and property when they pass away. A will is basically a set of instructions that says who gets what after you're gone. It can also say who should look after any children under 18, or even how you'd like your funeral to be. If you don't have a will, there are rules about who gets your possessions, but they might not be what you'd want.
Probate is the process that comes after someone dies. It's how the instructions in the will are carried out and makes sure that everything goes to the right people. If there's no will, probate still has to happen to distribute the person's belongings. This can be complicated, so many people use a solicitor to help them through it.
Both wills and probate are a big deal because they happen at emotional times, usually when someone has passed away. This makes it really important to get them right. A small mistake can cause big problems later on, like family fights or tax issues.
