what kind of information do u want. for probate of will one has to file a petition along with the original Will giving the circumstances and supported by affidavit of one of the witness to the will. The court will issue a citation in the newspaper and will send the notice to all the near relatives whose names and address you will give in the petition for probate. if the near relatives file their objections to grant of probate, the court will decide the objections and accordingly grant or reject the probate of the will. Once probate is granted, the applicant has to pay 4% of the valuation of the property and the court will issue the letter of administration to the applicant.
