Can you probate a will personally?

No. A Will only goes into probate once the principal (the one who created the Will) has passed away. The Executor or the person in-charge of the principal's assets, would be the one to present the Will to court for probate. Even if there is no Will, the deceased person's assets will still need to undergo probate for the state to determine where and to whom his assets will go to.
