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 Court of Edinburgh had
jurisdiction 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 covers all of Scotland and Overseas as well as the local area and should always be checked. |
