probated
Certified after death
Probated is the past tense of probate, the legal process of validating a will and settling a deceased person's estate.
When a will is probated, a court confirms its authenticity and authorizes the distribution of assets: The estate was probated within six months of her death.
Property that hasn't been probated may face legal complications during transfer.
