must a will be probated if no one contests the contents. Property is involed

Unless your parent held the property with you as Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship, or deeded the property to you prior to death reserving a life estate, it will be necessary to rpobagte the will.     This is based on the facts you have provided.  Additional facts might well result in a different answer.  An attorney would have to revied the title to the property and the contents of the will in order to know how to proceed.   It is customary to probate the will in the county of your parent's residence at the time of death.  You might wish to consult an attorney in that area.   I hope this helps.   Russel l.
