A will must be probated so the court can rule the will is technically valid and can appoint the executor. No one has the legal right to act as the executor until they have been appointed by the court and issued letters Testamentary. Title to real estate will not pass to the heirs until the estate is probated.

When you get a letter of testamentary does that mean that the Trust or Will has been probated or is being probated?

"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.
