Do we need to go through probate if there is a valid and non-contested will?
The answer to that is yes. Probate is the process of not necessarily dealing with contested wills. Probate is the process whereby assets of a deceased person is transferred to a living person, family members. And therefore probate is necessary even in an uncontested will because the court will then verify that will is a good, solid, legal will to be admitted to probate. And then the assets will be transferred in compliance with the law.
