Depends on state.

In Delhi probate is not needed for a will, in certain states it is mandatory.

I have similar opinion as Mr.Shonee.

Yes!If the Will was kept in sealed cover with registrar ,the executor should apply before the registrar for it's opening and registering on proving death of the testatorand there after he should apply for probate.
Probate even if not required by law at some places but yet it it is of usefulness s will gets finally proved once for ever.
