How do informal probate procedures differ in testate versus intestate cases?

Question

How do informal probate procedures differ in testate versus intestate cases?



Answer

What do you mean by "informal" probate procedures? Testate means there's a will. The will usually gives certain powers to the executor so the he/she doesn't have to go to probate court for permission to do everything. Intestate cases (where there is no will) usually require the administrator (that's what he/she is called when there is no will) to get a surety bond and to get court permission to do things.
