So habe ich es einmal übersetzt.

Erklärungen dazu:

"To admit a will to probate means that a
probate judge (by written order) has determined that the document
is the last will of the decedent and the property should be
distributed accordingly. From that day forward anyone wanting to
know who now owns the decedent's property can go to the probate
records and find out. "To admit a will to probate" is the
mechanism used to evidence the transfer of property to the next
generation (in fact, under Texas law, a will is of no force and
effect until it has been admitted to probate)."

"probate - the judicial procedure by which a testamentary document is established to be a valid will; the proving of a will to the satisafaction of the court." - Black's Law Dictionary
