Slightly off list topic but I have an ancestor who died intestate and am told one of his children was granted letters of administation or probate.Am wondering if it would be worthwhile applying for a copy? Would details of the estate be shown or just the name of the person receiving the grant? Thank-you Marie Kerr

The letters of Administration (known as an "admon") would just show the value of the estate and the person to whom probate was granted if it were post-1858. Prior to 1858 you might be lucky enough to get an inventory of the deceased's goods and chattels. -- Ruth in Hambledon, Hampshire "The Cradle of Cricket" On 29/07/2010 21:58, MARIE KERR wrote: > Slightly off list topic but I have an ancestor who died intestate and am told > one of his children was granted letters of administation or probate.Am wondering > if it would be worthwhile applying for a copy?
