There is no central repository for probate records in Saskatchewan. The province is divided into fifteen judicial districts (see [[Saskatchewan Court Records|Saskatchewan Court Records]]). Original wills and records of estates are filed with the clerk of the court of the judicial district, from whom certified copies may be obtained. A central index of all grants made in wills is filed with the Registrar of Estates and Wills, Regina Courthouse. | There is no central repository for probate records in Saskatchewan.

The Wills and Estates Registry is the registry of every estate application, such as an application for Letters Probate or Letters of Administration, ever filed in a court in Saskatchewan. These records go back to 1905. Only some of this information is on computer; the first 100 years are recorded in handwriting in large docket books. Caveats registered against an estate are also recorded, as are wills deposited with a Local Registrar's Office for safekeeping. | The Wills and Estates Registry is the registry of every estate application, such as an application for Letters Probate or Letters of Administration, ever filed in a court in Saskatchewan.
