The Genealogist only has will indexes upto 1858 when the State then took over the function of granting probate from the Church courts.

Calendars to wills 1858 to date can be found direct at the HMCTS web site or indexed by name and date on Ancestry 1858-1966

Also now browsable on FindMyPast up to 1959, in a somewhat cumbersome format, but it might help those with FindMyPast subscriptions. The dataset is called Probate Calendars Of England & Wales 1858-1959.
