see https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/search-archives-online/will-calendars and their pdf https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/publications/wills-and-probate

if probate was granted after the following time spans "View digital images of copy wills for Armagh, (1858 to 1918), Belfast (1858 to 1909) and Londonderry (1858 to 1899)." then the wills can be ordered and viewed in PRONI and photographed yourself, they  are indexed  above to 1965. If you are remote you can contact them and avail of their Enquiry Service https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/proni-enquiry-service
Printed annual calendars (same as the English ones online) exist on their shelves post 1965 from which wills can also be ordered using the appropriate references.
