Probate gets weird and unmanageable when someone dies intestate (without a will).

At that point -- all the probate laws kick in... and the judge and clerk have a lot to say about disposition of the estate.

If the valid will is clear about who is to manage the affairs and finances of the deceased, and the deceased trusts the executor-- no bond is required.

The valid will is usually registered in probate court, but they cannot tell the executor how to manage the trusts & resources of the estate.

I am a layman -- not an atty... but have managed my parents' estates. One had a will.... one did not.

I hope this helps.
