A quick definition of informal probate:

Informal Probate: When someone dies, their property and assets need to be distributed to their heirs or beneficiaries. This process is called probate. Informal probate is a simpler and faster way to distribute the property and assets without going through a formal court process. It is usually used when there are no disputes or complications among the heirs or beneficiaries.

Informant: An informant is someone who tells the police or other authorities about a crime. They may do this because they want to help the police or because they want a reward. A citizen-informant is someone who comes forward to give information without expecting any payment, just because they want to help the community.

A more thorough explanation:

Informal probate is a legal process that involves settling the estate of a deceased person without a formal court hearing. It is a simpler and faster process than formal probate, which requires a court hearing and can be more expensive.

  • Informal proceeding: This is a type of legal process that is used to resolve disputes between parties without a formal court hearing. It is often used in cases where the parties involved are willing to work together to reach a resolution.
  • Informal proof of claim: This is a document that is used to support a claim made by a creditor against the estate of a deceased person. It is called "informal" because it does not require a formal court hearing.
  • Informal rulemaking: This is a process used by government agencies to create new rules and regulations. It is called "informal" because it does not require a formal court hearing.
  • Informant: This is a person who provides information to the police or other authorities about a crime. They may do so voluntarily or in exchange for a reward or special treatment.
  • Citizen-informant: This is a type of informant who provides information to the police or other authorities without expecting payment. They do so with the public good in mind.

These examples illustrate the concept of "informal" as being less formal or official than a traditional court hearing or legal process. Informal probate, for example, is a simpler and faster process than formal probate because it does not require a formal court hearing. Similarly, informal rulemaking is a less formal process than traditional rulemaking because it does not require a formal court hearing.
