Will Copy - Victoria
« on: Sunday 30 September 07 05:53 BST (UK) »
Hi

Is it possible for someone with access to the Victorian probate index to check if there is an entry for a Isabella Grant who died in 1916 or a Peter Grant who died in 1911. Have a vague feeling that a relative told me that one of these people made a will but am not sure. If there is an entry could someone tell me how to go about ordering a copy of the will sent to me...... I live a couple of hours north of Sydney and its a bit of a drive to Victoria  :)

Any information would be appreciated.

Hi jaki

If there is a will it will be online.  I'll check the probate indexes for you.

Then all you need to do is logon to the PROV (register as a user, if you aren't already)  and order the will using the reference no.

Regards
