What is the difference between Probate in Solemn Form and Probate in Common Form ?
A. Probate in Solemn Form requires notice to the next of kin of the decedent. Probate In Common Form does not require that any notice be given but does not become conclusive as to the parties at interest until four years, perhaps even longer if an heir is a minor. For this reason by far most wills are probated in solemn form.
