It is NEVER required to probate a will. Sometimes, there are no assets needing to be administered (for example, when all the estate has is a joint savings/checking account (Joint Tenants with right of survivorship). However, if real estate is involved, the chances of needing to probate increases. And any time you file for probate, you should provide the original document.
