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.
The Commissariot Courts of
Edinburgh had jurisdiction for the whole of Scotland and abroad and
should also be checked.
These Testaments are for personal property only.
The Institute Library has a complete set of Indexes for pre 1800 Commissariot Court Wills. |
The Commissariot of Edinburgh was the main court and covers all of Scotland and Overseas as well as the local
area and should
always be checked.
| fiche T11-T23 |
The Commissariot of Moray
covered the County of Nairn. |
fiche T37 |
Land was covered by separate laws and
is covered by the records detailed in:
The Retours of Services of Heirs Index 1544 - 1699
The Service of Heirs Index 1700 - 1859
The two CD’s are indispensable to the genealogist as they record from 1544 to1859 an authentic history of inheritance
of the greater part of the landed property in Scotland and the descent of most of the leading families. |
