Executor does not probate will, when it is required?
loveandlight asked:
What happens when an individual is named Executor, has the deceased will. Probate is required by that state/province but does not do so? What if the individual claimed intestate in stead because it would better them in the long run? If a person does not probate, what recourse is there?
This would significant.

Some estates are small enough or insolvent to the point as to not require probate.
Only a local probate atty can tell you.
Start there
Edit; If the executor failed to file the will for probate, you either need to get a copy from the atty who drew it up file it and ask to be appointed subsitute executor, and/or have a probate lawyer involved
