Dear Rootschatters, I don't know if or when this thread will be moved. I am still awaiting more info from NZ which may shed more light on Thor. Will update :)

The probate for Thor Matison Breck enclosed.

As far as I can see it holds no new clues. All help and tips very welcome!

Magne, that is incredibly bereft of information or anything.

Usually they would have court proceedings, an affadavit, stamp duty receipt, etc.


I guess you could now look to the local council to find out about the property but I doubt that will tell you much, unless he passed it to a descendant who is named on the title.
...out of, through, and back from New Zealand to the ends of the Earth

Thank you, TwiggyTree!

I thought so too. However, I did not enclose the first page of the two I received. This because of size limits and also that I believed it was not important. I should have mentioned this however.

I have changed the format and enclosed the page below now. Do you know what this page is called?

My main question: Do you think anything is missing from the probate I reveived from NZ?

All the best!

Magne

Hi Magne

Looking at the probate i would say it is complete,obviously there was on one else to take out administration so the Public Tustee administered his estate,often in cases where a person dies intestate a family member applies for Letters of Administration

Cheers Janette
