A) It is recommended..
B) In CA along with the regular estate purchase agreement the additional Probate Purchase Agreement is required. You could attach your own additional wholesale contract but it would have to be an "addendum". The agreements would be legally binding. As far as wholesaling a probate property, if your terms are not agreeable with the decedents, the attorney (representing the estate's PR and heirs) may run interference on your deal.
Here is where working with an agent is advisable to help you draw/write up a contract. The attorney is looking out for the best interest for their clients..
