Must all wills go through probate court?


I thought this was the whole idea of a will in the first place, to make everything plain and simple, and so everyone will know what goes to who. I understand if there is a dispute, but if everyone is in agreement with the will, why have to go through this? A will is a legal document, that is the point.
