== Description ==
 
Probate is the legal court process by which the estate of a deceased person is distributed to his or her heirs. The term probate refers to a collection of documents, including wills, administrations (also called admons), inventories, and act books. The Church of England ecclesiastical courts had authority for this process until to 1858. This article explains about probate records for this court and how to find a will.
 
Beginning in 1858, authority over probate matters was taken from ecclesiastical courts and put under the civil authority of the [[Principal_Probate_Registry|Principal Probate Registry]].
