The Will and Administration documents below have been been copied from actual documents. These documents are the copyright of Proni and are available by order from Proni at www.proni.gov.uk as well as many other wills and letters of Administration. You will find links to copyright and wills search from Proni's home page. If you find your ancestors in the will abstracts I very much recommend ordering copies of the documents as you may find extremely useful information within them.

Ordering is easy, all you need to do is send an email to proni requesting the wills, giving the reference number and deceased's name, as well as their date of death (these you will find on the wills calendar search). You will then be sent a form, via email, with the total cost of the documents requested plus P&P, which you can fill in and fax back to them. The reason you'll need to fax the form back is because you will be giving your credit card details and their email is not secure.

Thank you to Sean Rooney for sharing these!!
