=== Post-1857 Probate Records  ===

Beginning in 1858, the government took over the&nbsp;settlement of estates and all&nbsp;wills are now probated through the Principal Probate Registry system.&nbsp; The system consists of 11 district registry offices and&nbsp;18 sub-district registries, located throughout England and Wales, and&nbsp;the principal registry&nbsp;office located in London.&nbsp; The records are available through the office of Her Majesty's Courts Service.&nbsp; To learn more, go to the [http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabout/civil/probate/index.htm HMCS website]. 

A&nbsp;country-wide surname index to the records is available, so it is much easier to look for post-1857 wills.&nbsp; The {{FHL|208102|title-id|disp=indexes}} for 1858-1957 and the records for 1858-1925 are available on microfilm at the Family History Library.<br>
