Probate deals with the disposition estates (real and personal property of dead people).
Wills and trusts involves the pre-death distribution of a person's real and personal property.
You are asking a criminal law question.
If you are the accused, you should be asking your criminal law attorney. If you are a relative of the accused, try re-posting your question under criminal law.
However, Attorney Ashman is correct if the acts in question occurred after the person was 17.
