Before 1858, Church of England ecclesiastical courts had authority for this process. To search for a pre-1858 probate record in Devon, follow these steps:
In addition, the [[Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury]] had jurisdiction over the whole of England.

==== Step 1. Search Indexes ====
=== Appeals Courts ===


The majority of the records of Devonshire courts were destroyed during World War II when the Exeter Registry was bombed. Because of this loss, dozens of projects have attempted to gather, abstract, transcribe and index any wills which could be located from any source, including solicitors' offices. Copies were obtained of any abstracts or transcripts made before the destruction of the records. Here are some online indexes to probate records that include individuals who lived in Devon. Search these indexes first:  
Any probate that was disputed and could not be settled by the county courts could be sent to these higher appeals courts:  


*[https://genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DEV/DevonWillsProject Devon Wills Project] -- provides an online consolidated index of Devon wills, administrations and inventories, covering (and distinguishing between) original documents, probate copies, transcripts and abstracts. The project involves systematically transcribing information obtained from various "sources", i.e. numerous private publications of abstracts or transcripts, and various indexes, calendars, catalogues, etc. The period covered is up to 1858, and wills, etc., are taken as related to Devon if the testator is identified to be or can be assumed as being of Devon, even if the will was proved elsewhere. The index covers only testators, not other named individuals, and efforts to create a consolidated index which covers all individual sources is not yet complete.) Individual sources are linked to from the Devon Wills Project page.
