| Probate is the legal court process by which the estate of a deceased person is distributed to his/her heirs. | | ''Probate'' is the legal court process by which the estate of a deceased person is distributed to his or her heirs. Probate records include [[W genealogical glossary terms|wills]] and [[A genealogical glossary terms|administrations]]. This article is about probate records in Warwickshire. See [[England Probate Records]] for a general description of probate records in England. |
| | |
| In order to find a probate record for your ancestor, you must answer two questions:
| |
| | |
| #When did your ancestor die?
| |
| #Where did your ancestor live or own property?
| |
| | |
| A key date is 1858, when probate authority was taken from the ecclesiatical courts of the Church of England and given to the civil government. | |
| | |
| *If your ancestor died before 1858, his/her probate would have been proven by an ecclesiatical court and it is important to know where he/she lived, as that will determine which courts had jurisdiction.
| |
| *If you know where your ancestor lived before 1858, you should go to the '''Court Jurisdictions''' section below to determine what courts had jurisdiction over your ancestor's place of residence.
| |
| *Beginning in 1858, probate authority was vested in the '''Principal Probate Registry''' system. For more information, scroll to the '''Post-1857 Probate Records''' section at the bottom of the page.
| |
| | |
| Once you have answered the two questions and determined the courts, look for indexes. Indexes will be found on the individual court pages (when you click on a court name) or in the '''Probate Indexes''' section below.<br><br>

| | ==== Step 2. Identify when and where your ancestor died ==== |
|
| |
|
| - Biliesley | | Determine ''when'' your ancestor died. If you aren't sure, use an approximate date. |
|
| |
|
| - Binton
| | Determine ''where'' your ancestor died. It is easier to find a probate record if you know whether the place where your ancestor lived or died is a [[P genealogical glossary terms|parish]]. To learn whether it is a parish, look it up in a gazetteer. Here is a link to the 1872 ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' online: |

|
| - Brailes
| | *[https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/descriptions/index.jsp Vision of Britain] |
|
| |
|
| - Budbrooke
| | The gazetteer will either tell you: |
|
| |
|
| - Burmington
| | *A place is a parish, or |
| | *What parish it is a part of, or |
| | *What place it is near. |
|
| |
|
| - Butlers Marston
| | If the latter, look that place up in the gazetteer and see if it is a parish. |
|

| | Once you have identified the parish, go to '''Step 3'''. |
|
| |
|
| - Cherington
| | ==== Step 3. Identify court jurisdictions by parish ==== |
|
| |
|
| - Claverdon
| | Once you have identified the parish where your ancestor lived or died, learn which courts had jurisdiction over it then search indexes for those courts. Every town and parish in Warwickshire fell under the probate jurisdiction of a primary court and several secondary courts. Click on a link below for the letter the parish begins with. |

| == Post-1857 Probate Records ==
| |
| | |
| Beginning in 1858, the government took over the settlement of estates and all wills are now probated through the Principal Probate Registry system. The system consists of 11 district registry offices and 18 sub-district registries, located throughout England and Wales, and the principal registry office located in London. The records are available through the office of Her Majesty's Courts Service. To learn more, go to the [http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabout/civil/probate/index.htm HMCS website].
