"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. Once Letters are issued, the exeutor/executrix begins the administration of the estate. Letters Testamentary have no relation at all to trusts.

If the person who wrote the will is still living you have no legal right to see their will.If the person who wrote the will is deceased, and the will was probated, if you were a legatee named in the will, the Probate Court should have notified you that the will was being probated. If the death has occurred and the will has been probated and you did not receive such notification - you have a legal right to have the contents of the will disclosed to you. Consult an attorney if the information is being withheld from you.

Is there a difference between a will being admitted to probate court and a will being probated for instance you went with your brother to probate court but it was decided not to probate it?

Clarification is required as to why the will was not admitted to Probate. Was this because of a dispute between you and your brother or because the estate was so small that the court deemed it unnecessary.AnswerThere is no difference between a "will being admitted to probate court" and a "will being probated". A will admitted to probate court is being probated.However, as stated above, the will in your case was not admitted to probate court and so is not being probated. We cannot know the reason without more details. Your brother may have found it didn't require probate if the decedent didn't own property or he may have been put off by the cost of the filing. You need to ask him.
