Access to Scottish Wills after 1938

[Boomeranger]

My grandfather died in 1938 in Glasgow. I believe the whole of his estate was willed to father, (as the only child and son) but I know my father decided to give his mother the estate. Because my father (d. 1959) was later diagnosed as terminally ill with war injuries, before his death my grandmother (d. 1948) bequeathed the estate to me in trust in her Will.
I would like to view the details of the Wills of my grandfather, grandmother and father, all of whom died in Glasgow. Is this possible, and where might I access them? (I live in Australia). Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

Hi Boomeranger

There are a number of people here on RC who are experienced in Wills & Testaments through the 20th C (I am not one of those  ).

Just some guidance notes in the meantime. For the period you are looking at, unfortunately, nothing is available to view on line currently past 1925 - www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?407

For Wills & Testaments past 1925 see here for help notes www.nas.gov.uk/guides/wills.asp

Thanks for that Monica, I've gone on to the links you gave and confess I am none the wiser! One of them refers to "Virtual Volumes" but I have no idea how I access that sort of file, or if it will even supply what I am looking for. But thanks for your help.

"Virtual Volumes" are not openly available online unfortunately. A further post here on RC www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=640162.0

You will need someone to do these searches in person for you given your location
