In general, when no complicating factors exist, informal probate is easier and less expensive than formal probate. Most probate proceedings in Minnesota are informal. If you initiate probate as an interested party in the estate, you must initiate formal probate, not informal probate.
The key requirement for informal probate is that there are no disputes to be resolved in court. A probate court dispute may involve a problem with a creditor or disagreements among beneficiaries. If an interested party plans to contest a will, the estate will not be eligible for informal probate.
