The probate records were kept by the ''sorenskriveri'' (rural magistrate), ''byfogd'' (city magistrate), or ''prosti'' (deanery) for probates associated with the clergy. Probates for millitary officers were kept by the ''generalauditørens'' (Inspector General). You can identify the correct jurisdiction by referring to the appropriate parish page in the FamilySearch Research Wiki, or by checking the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch Catalog] for the locality and checking the subject heading '''Probate records'''. | The probate records were kept by the ''sorenskriveri'' (rural magistrate), ''byfogd'' (city magistrate), or ''prosti'' (deanery) for probates associated with the clergy.

Most registers cover a range of years and contain a separate given-name index usually located in the back of the book. Entries are made chronologically based on the date of the probate decision and include the date and place of the probate hearing, the name of the deceased, his heirs; creditors and debts; assessed value of property; and the final distribution of the estate. In the 1840s and 1850s changes were made to how the records were arranged. Beginning in 1843 ''skifteutlodningsprotokoller'' which recorded the distribution of the estate were kept separately. After 1850 three sets of probate records were kept: ''skifteregistreringsprotokoller'' (registration), ''skiftebehandlings-'' or ''skifteforhandlingsprotokoller'' (negotiations and deliberations), and ''skifteslutnings-'' or ''skifteutlodningsprotokoller'' (distributions or settlements). | Most registers cover a range of years and contain a separate given-name index usually located in the back of the book.
