Since about 1830, a petition that lists names of heirs, date of death of the deceased, relationships to the deceased, and the heir's residences may be included. These packets can be found at the county courthouse. Some of these packets have been microfilmed and made available at the Family History Library for 29 counties of New York.

"The probate petitions are most often found in "Probate Packets" at the surrogate's court in each county, filed with other loose estate papers, such as inventories, accounts, etc. Because such "loose papers" were filed with estates prior to 1830, some packets include records from the beginning of the Surrogate Court system in 1787 or even earlier."<ref>Henry B. Hoff, "Navigating New York Probate," ''American Ancestors'' 12 (Fall 2011): 56.</ref> <br>
