Probate can be granted when deceased had died appointing a executor in the will.
While a letter of administration can be granted when:
1- deceased had died intestate.
2- the deceased has made a will, but has not appointed an executor.

Well both Probate and LOA is applied for when the predecessor in interest has dies testate.
Wihout Will neither LOA nor Porbate is possible.
Probate can be applied for by the Executor named in the Will only. If the executor fails or refuses to discharge the duty then only the Legal heirs can apply for it.
But in LOA it is legal heirs who apply for it. It happens when there is no one named as Executor in the Will.
Basically it is the executor whose presence or absence determines the application for Probate or LOA.
