You are mixing your terms. A will provides instructions regarding the distribution of a person's estate after they have died. A will must be probated after the death of the testator.A trust is not probated. It is created to hold title to property so the property is not included in a person's estate.

"Letters Testamentary" are issued after the will has been probated. Probated means proved as genuine. It does not mean the process of administering the estate by collecting assets, paying bills and disbursing the estate.

No. A living trust is operative from the moment it is fully executed by the settlor (the person making the living trust). Wills have to be probated, because the maker of the will has died and is not able to identify the document claimed to be his will. The document must be proved (probated) as the proper last will and testament of the decedent before it becomes operative.
Probate is typically not needed for assets held in a living trust because they pass directly to the beneficiaries named in the trust. However, any assets that were not properly placed in the trust before your father's death may still need to go through probate. It's important to review the trust document and consult with an attorney to ensure all assets are properly accounted for.
No, a living trust does not get "probated" the way a will is probated. Wills are probated, meaning proved, because the person who did the will is deceased and the witness to the will have to swear that that person did sign the will properly in their presence. The living trust is like a deed to a house. It is effective simply by its terms the the person who created it has set it up. While traditional probate is not required, some states provide that the trust should be filed with the probate court in order to have identifying documentation issued to the trustees.
