Re: probate question

The will may still be able to be probated or depending on the property, it might not be necessary. The person who was named executor and never probated the will may be liable for claims against the estate. If you want to pursue this, you need to talk to a lawyer.

The will is still valid, although it can only be probated to transfer title to the property. It can't be challenged just because you believe it's unfair.
