Probate of a Will is a civil court action for the purpose of the orderly transfer of property from a deceased person's estate to his or her heirs. A Will is a formal document directing how the deceased person's property is to be distributed. If there is no property to distribute, there is no need to probate the Will even if there is one in existence.

In the United States every death must be reported to the office of vital statistics in each state. That report is made by the medical examiner's office. Generally, there is no law that an obituary must be published in the newspaper. However, you need to check the law in your particular jurisdiction. If a person dies owning any assets, their estate must be probated and a notice of the probate must be published in order to give any creditors an opportunity to file a claim against the estate.
