Probate records in Dublin
« on: Wednesday 12 April 17 18:20 BST (UK) »
I would like to know if my late father left a will when he died in 1986 in Dublin?
Does anyone know where I apply to and would it still be valid after 31 years?

The NA website appears to say they only hold records up to 1982.  I would try emailing the probate office in Dublin. Although, the website only seems to give telephone numbers :-\

Found an email address!

Thanks for the link. I thought I read somewhere that they were kept up until 1982. I will email them and see what they say.

I have just sent an email, so hopefully I will get a reply tomorrow.
That site is enough to confuse a police horse 😂.
