Hi Christine Actually it couldn't be much simpler really :-) You don't even need the form to be honest This applies to *all* wills from 1858 to date for England & Wales On the form enter surname & forename of the deceased Enter the date of death (if known) OR just the year As you have it, in the address box I would enter :- (From the 1893 probate Calendar) BENSON William of 4 Ellison-road Streatham common Surrey died 26 November 1893 Probate London 29 January to Elizabeth Edith White (wife of Charles Ernest White) Effects £660 (But its not necessary, just the County would suffice when known) Enter your name, address with post code (if used) I would add your email address and telephone number Thats it If all you knew is that XXX died in a given year that would be enough to request a search, the standard charge includes a four year search and copies A letter requesting copies of Will & Grant for XXX (persons name) who died XXXX (if known or approximate if not) Would be all you would need but I would advise checking the probate calendars first if at all possible Should there be no will the fee is non returnable Should it state "Administration was granted to" unless it specifically states "with will" it means the person died intestate and the letters of administration do not normally tell you much more, if anything, than the probate calendar Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi Nivard, > > Thanks for that.
