Before Elmer's estate can be distributed, it must go through ______.

A lawyer
Devise
Escheat
Probate

The correct answer is: Probate

Probate is the legal process of distributing a deceased person's estate according to the terms of their will or state law. This option is the correct choice as it accurately describes the necessary process mentioned in the question. A lawyer (option A) may be involved in the probate process, but is not the required step before distribution. Devise (option B) refers to the act of leaving property through a will, and is not the necessary process for distribution mentioned in the question. Escheat (option C) is the legal process of transferring a deceased person's property to the state when there are no living heirs or legal beneficiaries. It is not the required step for distribution mentioned in the question.
