An estate is the property and the financial assets owned by a person. In other words, whatever you own and whatever it’s worth is your estate. It can include investments, savings, real estate and items holding monetary and personal value.
In legal terms, an estate is what you own when you die which is also known as a probate estate.
Assets that pass through a will, or assets that pass via intestate succession - where there is no will - is referred to as a probate estate.
