| Title: | Court of Probate and Supreme Court of Judicature, High Court of Justice, Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division, Principal Probate Registry: Contentious Probate Exhibits |
| Description: |
This series consists of a selection of exhibits from contentious probate cases heard in the Court of Probate and its successor. In some cases the application for grant of probate arises from intestacy or from a difficulty concerning the legality of a will, such as not being properly signed and/or witnessed, or where only a copy of the original will has survived; in other cases, the papers arise from a dispute between interested parties. These exhibits relate to cases heard in such circumstances. |
| Date: | 1851-1934 |

The files are arranged alphabetically under testator's names. In disputed cases the names of the parties to the action appear. |
