The [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHL/frameset_library.asp [Family History Library|Family History Library]] has very few original probate records for Somerset on microfilm. Most of the what the library has is various volumes of published abstracts. See the information found in the article on the [[Court of the Bishop of Bath & Wells (Episcopal Consistory)]].
Try searching the following collections which are a copy or abstract of the original registers for many areas throughout the county:
{{FHL|346690|title-id|disp=Estate Duty Wills Index 1812-1857}}
{{FHL|534228|title-id|disp=Death Duty Register for Abstracts of Administrations and Probates of Wills 1796-1811}}
The [http://www.sog.org.uk/index.shtml Society of Genealogists] in London has copies of published abstracts of wills and other probate documents for Somerset. To see a list of titles, search their [http://62.32.98.6/S10312UKStaff/OPAC/index.asp library catalogue] for the Subject of "Somerset - General: Wills."
