Title: California Wills
Post by: Pollynation on Sunday 24 September 17 17:14 BST (UK)

I'm looking for a will of a person who died 1951 in California. At the minute I don't know where she died or how to look for the will.

Does anybody know how/where to find the information? Thanks in advance.

Thank you,

I now know Adeline Wright Kynaston died 14/3/1951 and was buried in Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Los Angeles.

The link you provided says that county do not have any records online, so I will have to email them and see how to get a copy of the will. I know the Kynaston family left a large size will which had to be shared by various relatives in the UK.

Thanks for your help, best wishes
