Vermont Probate Records: Difference between revisions

Probate records are court records created after a person’s death that relate to a court’s decisions regarding the distribution of his estate to his heirs or creditors and the care of his dependents. They may include information such as a person’s death date, names of family members (including married daughters), family relationships, and residences. You may also learn about the adoption or guardianship of minor children and dependents. These documents are important to family history researchers because they usually exist for time periods before civil birth and death records were kept.
