 '''Will.''' Technically, a will conveys real (immovable) property to heirs after an individual’s death. A registered will is an official copy made by a court clerk.<br><br>
- '''Testament.''' A testament conveys personal (move-able) property to heirs. The term will eventually referred to both a will and a testament.<br><br>
- '''Administration, Letters of Administration, or Admon.''' These names refer to a document appointing someone to supervise the estate’s distribution for someone who died intestate (without a valid will). This document gives very little information but may contain some useful clues, such as the name of the administrator, who was usually a relative of the deceased.<br><br>
- '''Admon with Will.''' This record grants administration to someone else when the executor named in the will is deceased, unwilling, or unable to act as executor. A copy of the will is attached.<br><br>
- '''Inventory.''' An inventory lists belongings and their values, including such items as household goods, tools, and personal items. Occupations are often mentioned.<br><br>
- '''Bond.''' A bond is a written guarantee that a person will faithfully perform the tasks assigned to him by a probate court. The executor posted a testamentary bond, the administrator posted an administration bond, and the guardian of a minor child posted a bond of tuition or curation.
