Three different ways of Searching the Wills Index

There are now three ways you can use the Wills search facility to gather information contained in the Wills Indexes.

Testator
Typically the following information is available about the testator:

• Probate date
  
• Full name of the deceased
  
• Death date
  
• Occupation
  
• Abode
  
• Value of estate

Beneficiaries and Others
These are the people that are name on the Will, such as beneficiaries, witnesses and executors.Typically the following information is available about the Beneficiaries:

• Probate date
  
• Full name of the person
  
• Role
  
• Occupation
  
• Relationship
  
• Abode

Beneficiaries and Others mentioned in a Will
If you have found a Will of interest in the Index, make a note of the Will number and insert it in the form to bring up a list of all the people mentioned in that Will.

Note: only a small proportion of the Wills have so far had the names of the 'Beneficiaries and Others' extracted and put into the database, as more names are extracted the database will be updated.
