Beneficiaries Index
« on: Sunday 11 January 09 14:20 GMT (UK) »
The Beneficiaries and Executors Index is a private index compiled by Ukfamilyrecords.com. It is not a complete index, but part of an ongoing project.

What is it?
It is an Index that lists the Beneficiaries and Executors named in the Wills of individuals who have died during the past 110 years. It has been compiled from Probate Records, that is Wills that have required a Grant of Probate. The testator (the individual who left the Will) may have named Beneficiaries and Executors who are entitled to property, money or valuables from their Estate, the Index lists these Beneficiaries and Executors.


Coverage
The index covers Beneficiaries and Executors named in Wills that have been granted probate in England and Wales. The earliest entry in the Index dates from 1897 and the latest is 2008.


Confidentiality
We treat any enquiry or application to search the Index with complete confidentiality. By the same token the information we release from the Index is kept to the very minimum to protect the privacy of living individuals.
