PROBATE & WILLS
Wills before 1875 were proved
in Commissariot Courts.
The areas covered by Commissariot
Courts pre 1800 in Scotland relate to Church
jurisdiction and not county borders
so more than
one Court can cover a County.

for the whole of Scotland and abroad
and should also be checked.
These Testaments
are for personal property only.
The Library has a complete set of Indexes for
pre 1800 Commissariot Court Wills. |
The Commissariot of Edinburgh was the main court and covered all of Scotland and overseas as well as the local
area and should always be checked.
