The grant of probate confirms the validity of a will and the authority of the executor. In some cases it is necessary or advisable to probate a will, but in this case the executor is in a position to administer the Secondary Will without a grant of probate. It is not the court that deals with the assets but the executor. This kind of strategy is only advisable in circumstances where the will-maker has a great deal of confidence in the executors and there is little likely-hood of conflict among the beneficiaries and executors.

If the beneficiary of the second will was never notified what are the time constraints? If the secondary will with its assets was never probated what did the cort do with those assest? Appropriate them? Did this decision to probate one will only effectively rob Norman of his last request and his beneficiarie? <br />Thanks for the time it takes to answer my question I am grateful. <br />Sincerely Michael Teddiman.
