Are there any special procedures or documentats required when probating an estate if minor children are named?

All Bank Accounts were POD to me, the executor. There are 4 CD’s (1 for each child), POD to me. The house sold and the equity is sitting in escrow account until probate closes. The children were named in the Will, along with my brother and I as beneficiaries of the bank accounts and the house.
