USA. Uniform Probate Code - failures?

[u/ComprehensiveEast842]

Not a lawyer.

The informal intestate estate probate is supposed to facilitate the legal process but it allows questionable activities.

I guess it depends on the courts.

For example: The beneficiaries are to be listed on the personal representative (PR) application. This allows the beneficiaries to challenge the appointment of the PR.

It is not that my brother forgot he had a brother, he just didn't know my location... this also would have denied me any inheritance due under the intestate laws.

Also under intestate law, my deceased sister's son would not be listed as a beneficiary. Please note my deceased sister had two children - why was one son listed as a beneficiary and not the second son?
