Well... In the last few years I have done a couple of family probates, despite my only professional experience being another family probate 30 years ago, and a rich bastards contested estate (which was really litigation, not probate). I have also done a non family probate which was horribly complicated (home-made will) which took about 7 years to resolve, plus lots of heartache and heartburn... From my limited experience (a) most family stuff is pretty simple (b) people are greedy and will tell tales to make sure they will get more of Nan's estate than she meant. Making the rules simpler will quite likely mean more fraud.
