We access to indexes relating to all Probate records for the whole of England and
Wales from 11 January 1858 up to the present day. You may apply for a copy
of any proved Will, as well as a copy of the Grant of Representation. The Grant
will tell you who were the Executors or Administrators (those appointed to gather
in and distribute the estate). It may also tell you the name of the Solicitor acting
for them (if any) and the value of the estate, although usually only in very broad
terms. The financial summary shown on the Grant is the only information relating
to the estate that the Probate record contains. No inventory or estate accounts
are available.
If the death was recent, it may be that Probate has not yet been cleared. Consequently,
it may be advisable to wait two or three months after the date of death before having
a search made, in order to allow time for the Probate process to be completed.
If you apply before Probate has been completed, you will be notified that no details
are available. If you wish to pursue your enquiry, you will need to re-apply after
a suitable interval, enclosing a further fee and resubmitting all the relevant details,
or enter a Standing Search. A Standing Search remains in force for a period of 6
months from the date of entry and provides copies of the Will (if any) and Grant
if a Grant issues during this period.
The standard fee covers a 4-year search starting from the year in which the death
occurred (or the year from which you ask us to start searching). Longer searches
are charged per 4-year period. Please specify the period to be searched (as well
as the date of death if known) and send the appropriate fee. If the death occurred
within the last 4 years, the search will be made up to the most recent index. If
the search is successful, we will obtain and forward copies of the Will and/or Grant
as requested. If no Grant has issued in this time, you will be notified accordingly.
We aim to respond to your request within 10 to 15 working days.
If a record is traced, the standard fee includes one copy of the Will, if any, and
Grant, if requested. If the details you supply are incomplete, ambiguous or incorrect
and the documents cannot be traced as a result, you will be asked to reapply, giving
the correct information and enclosing a further payment.
We cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of the search unless full and correct
details are given that accord with the information supplied on application for the
Grant, normally the information in the Register of Deaths. If there is insufficient
information to make a search, we will contact you for further details. Please note
that your payment is not refundable in the event of a negative search result.
If you are applying for copies of older documents, you should be aware that
some of these are in poor condition. Although we make every effort to produce a
legible copy from the documents we hold, a small proportion will be of unavoidable
poor quality.
