OFFER : NSW State Records Office - photos of probates and divorces

[rosball]

Hi Jan,
   Here is NSW state archives https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/   They have a few probates from the 1980's but most of the probates after 1980 are at the Supreme Court of NSW.

   I can't see a probate for Alastair at NSW SRO.  Nor can I see a probate announcement for him in the Sydney Morning Herald up until 1995.

   Nor can I see a probate for him at NSW Supreme Court https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/search-probate-notices

( I did look earlier when you were asking about Marjorie    )

   Ros
adding : the Supreme Court Search Page is for probates AFTER 21 Jan 2013.  Before that announcements were in The Sydney Morning Herald.

Hi Ros,

Thanks for the feedback - I understand how it works now. I didn't think I'd thought of probate before - must have had a senior moment. Sorry!

It just occurred to me - he was a NZer. I wonder if his probate, if there was one, would have to be processed in NZ?

Jan

[rosball]

It's possible Jan if that's where his will was lodged and if he owned assets there.   I think it then has to be processed in NSW too.  [not sure about this].

No you're not having a senior moment - I just looked for one on SMH when you asked about Marjorie hoping it would give her name and address as executor or benficiary.   But no luck .

Thanks Ros, I'll do some digging in NZ records.

I can happily photograph a deceased estate file dfc 

There could well be a probate packet for him - there is an annoying gap in the online probate indexes from 1891 to 1927.  I can check the microfiche index when I am there and (if available) photograph it.   Probate packets should have more useful family history info than a deceased estate file and contain the assets and debts as well.
