The abbreviation "d.b.n.a." found in the Index of Administrations in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) stands for the Latin phrase "de bonis non administratis".

This legal term is used in probate records to refer to a new grant of administration for the goods (assets) of a deceased person that have not been administered by the previous executor or administrator, who has since died or been removed before completing their duties

Hope this helps  ???
