Hi Ian None are on line at all and as far as I know you cant even order a will from any State via any on line order facility. The NSW Attorneys Gens Dept increased the cost of a copy of a will from $10 to $36 last July. Would imagine the army of clerks previously employed photocopying wills found themselves out of work. I havent even checked the NSW Probate index since then in any look up I've done . Had they increased the price say to $15 that would have been reasonable but such a huge increase is just a money grab which I hope back fired . Fay Guthrie has alot of very useful info on her site including alot about wills for all States http://web.solutions.net.au/~guthrigg/index.htm bye Marg Morters Central Coast Family History Society GOSFORD NSW Australia
