There is no central repository for probate records in Saskatchewan. The province is divided into fifteen judicial districts (see [[Saskatchewan Court Records|Saskatchewan Court Records]]). Original wills and records of estates are filed with the clerk of the court of the judicial district, from whom certified copies may be obtained. A central '''index''' of all grants made in wills is filed with the Registrar of Estates and Wills, Regina Courthouse. | |||

The Wills and Estates Registry is the registry of every estate application, such as an application for Letters Probate or Letters of Administration, ever filed in a court in Saskatchewan. These records go back to 1905. Only some of this information is on computer; the first 100 years are recorded in handwriting in large docket books. Caveats registered against an estate are also recorded, as are wills deposited with a Local Registrar's Office for safekeeping. | The Wills and Estates Registry is the registry of every estate application, such as an application for Letters Probate or Letters of Administration, ever filed in a court in Saskatchewan.
