- Description:
- In 1791 English Law was introduced to the new Province of Upper Canada. English law required a will to be probated before provisions for the personal estate could come into effect. The Court of Probate was created in 1793 and Surrogate Courts were located in each of the districts of the new province with jurisdiction only within their respective districts.
This booklet contains a list of abbreviations and an index of testate and intestate estates, wills, codicils, plus letters of Probate and Administration from 1793-1859 (Series 155).
