Informal Probate

Informal Probate is a court proceeding to probate a will and/or appoint a personal representative of an estate. Informal probates are started by filing an Application with no notice to interested persons required prior to the appointment of the personal representative. No hearing is held before a judge to start an informal probate, which may be filed in probate court or district court (see Sections 45-3-301 through 45-3-311).
