Service Notes

We are able to search and supply any will issued in Scotland from 1858 to the current day. A standard application includes a 4-year search, from the date of death, of the probate records and supply of the Will and Grant of Probate. Additional 4-year searches are available.

We aim to ship this document within 25 working-days. Stated delivery times are in addition to the time taken to complete the service chosen.

PLEASE NOTE: If you would like a copy of the Will and the Confirmation (the inventory of estate of the deceased), this will require a separate service. Please contact us to find out more.

What happens when I order this service?

When you place your order, you will receive a confirmation email with your order reference. Our specialist team will personally check all of the information in your request. If there is any additional information required, or something needs clarification, we will get in touch as soon as possible.

Once the request information is ready, we will search the necessary archives in order to locate the correct record for you. We automatically cover a 5 year search each side of your given event date if required. Once the correct record is located, we will then request a duplicate certificate is issued and advise you via email that the request has been made.

As soon as the certificate is ready for dispatch, we will notify you that it's on its way. If you have requested a scan, we will email this to you at this point.
