If the registrar is not satisfied that a will is entitled to be probated in informal proceedings because of failure to meet the requirements of sections 14-3303 and 14-3304 or any other reason, he may decline the application. A declination of informal probate is not an adjudication and does not preclude formal probate proceedings.
