Process of legally establishing a will's validity (7)

I believe the answer is:

probate

(Other definitions for probate that I've seen before include "Validation of will" , "Formal proof of a will" , "document that proves a will is genuine" , "Establishment of validity of a will" , "Certificate authenticating a will" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
