1. Even though probate of Will is not mandatory, since the properties are located in different geographical locations, it is advisable to obtain probate of property.

2. A Will is not barred by limitation.

3. Once you obtain a probate of Will, it would be applicable to all the properties mentioned in the Will.

4. The beneficiaries of the Will seeking probate of Will are to bear the court fee and related expenses.

If any one challenges will then it should be proved, if no one challenges probate is not necessary, as the property is undivided first her share should be partitioned through partition deed and to be allotted.
