Informal Probate
Supervised and Unsupervised Probate
Informal Probate
Informal probate is a simpler and faster way to administer an estate when there are no disputes among heirs or issues with the will. It’s handled by a probate register instead of a judge, and the process allows the personal representative to manage and distribute assets without ongoing court supervision. This option is typically used when the estate is straightforward and everyone involved agrees on how it should be handled.

Informal Probate
Formal proceedings have more steps than informal proceedings. If a dispute over the will or appointing a personal representative is likely, formal proceedings give more oversight and finality than informal ones. Formal proceedings are done in front of a probate court judge. You may want to talk to a lawyer if the administration of the estate might be contested.

The choice between supervised and unsupervised administration depends on factors such as the complexity of the estate, the potential for disputes among beneficiaries, and specific directives outlined in the decedent's will.
