Probate records are court records that describe the distribution of a person’s estate after he or she dies. Information in the records may include the deceased’s death date, heirs and guardians, relationships, residences, estate inventory, and witnesses. These records are of great value for genealogical research because they identify family relationships and clues. | Probate records are court records that describe the distribution of a person’s estate after he or she dies.

The most common wills and probate records kept by the notaries in Brazil are listed under [[Brazil Notarial Records]]. Wills made by the ecclesiastical authorities are found in diocese archives, archdiocese archives, or occasionally the parish archives. Often these wills have been deposited in municipal archives. There were also some wills written by the individual without the aid of a notary or clergy. These are found in public registries, private homes, and museums. | The most common wills and probate records kept by the notaries in Brazil are listed under [[Brazil Notarial Records]].
