Hi Kay It means he had assets in England and in Scotland so you would need to get a copy of his will in Scotland to see the full extent of it Scotland has a similar probate index which may tell you a little more if you can get sight of it (or get someone to check it for you) Copies of post 1901 Scottish wills were not the cheapest last time I obtained one so a lot depends on how deep your pockets are and how much you want the will I believe you would be able to see the will with a personal visit but that is not always possible Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >I have now seen my great uncles will mentioned in the National Probate > Calendar. > He died in Aberfeldy, Perthshire on 2 Feb 1937. The will was sealed in > London 13 May 1937. > Not sure what this means exactly and what do I do next to find more about > his will > Kay

> Scotland has a similar probate index which may tell you a > little more if you can get sight of it (or > get someone to check it for you) Probate does not exist in Scots Law. In Scotland, wills are confirmed, not proved, and the process is called confirmation.The corresponding document is the Calendar of Confirmations, which I think goes as far as 1937. > I believe you would be able to see the will with a personal > visit but that is not always possible You can view the will free of charge if you go to the National Archives of Scotland in person. You will first have to find the reference number, which means consulting various indexes not available anywhere else, and then you will have to order the document at least 24 hours in advance of your visit, because it is not stored in General Register House and has to be brought in from wherever it is stored. If you want (photo)copies, they will cost 50p per copied (A3) sheet plus postage (you can't get them copied on the spot); often, but not invariably, you get two pages on an A3 sheet. Probably best to e-mail [email protected], tell them what you want, and ask them how much it will cost. Anne
