Generally all they need to know is the name and date of death, with the birth date becoming relevant when there are similar names in the registry. <br /><br />Is it possible that the clerk searched the name but nothing came up, so he said he'd need to know the date of probateLynne Butler, BA LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353197833765108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-49296662809808559722020-11-18T06:42:49.147-08:002020-11-18T06:42:49.147-08:00What if one wants to find a grandfather's Will...What if one wants to find a grandfather's Will upon hearing that I was named in it but the estates office clerk tells me he can only track the Will by date of probate?
