A quick definition of net estate:

Net estate: This refers to the assets and property that a person leaves behind after they pass away. It is also known as the probate estate. This includes things like money, real estate, and personal belongings. The net estate is what is left over after any debts, taxes, and expenses have been paid.

A more thorough explanation:

Net estate

The net estate refers to the total value of a deceased person's assets that are subject to probate, after all debts, taxes, and expenses have been paid.

For example, if a person dies and leaves behind a house worth $500,000, a car worth $20,000, and $50,000 in cash, but also has $100,000 in outstanding debts and $20,000 in funeral expenses, the net estate would be $350,000 ($500,000 + $20,000 + $50,000 - $100,000 - $20,000).

Another example would be if a person dies and leaves behind a bank account with $100,000, but also has $30,000 in outstanding debts and $10,000 in funeral expenses, the net estate would be $60,000 ($100,000 - $30,000 - $10,000).

The net estate is important because it determines how much money will be distributed to the deceased person's beneficiaries or heirs. The probate court will use the net estate value to pay off any outstanding debts and taxes, and then distribute the remaining assets according to the deceased person's will or state law if there is no will. Understanding the net estate value can help beneficiaries or heirs plan for their inheritance and make important financial decisions.
