The wills and inventories from the Court of Probates are also being digitized but are not yet available online. Meanwhile, for photocopies of wills and inventories, see below for ordering information. We will continue to provide copies of successions, as well as wills and inventories, but we strongly urge you to obtain successions online. The online images are FREE, and they are of far better quality than the photocopies we can provide from older microfilm.

• If you are ordering records from the Court of Probates (1804-1846) the fee is $3.00 to search each type of probate record you are seeking (i.e., succession, will, or inventory). In other words, if you request a copy of the succession of John Doe, the fee is $3.00. If you are also seeking his will and inventory, you need to send an additional $3.00 for each.

• If the record has been filmed, copies will be made from the microfilm. If the record has not been filmed, we will copy from the original. We reserve the right, however, to refuse to copy very fragile records that would be further damaged by the copying process.

• Not all of the courts are indexed. We cannot take orders for copies of records from unindexed courts.

• Most of the genealogically useful court records in our collection were microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah. Therefore, copies can be obtained from any Mormon Family History Center. If the court record you are seeking is lengthy, we strongly recommend that you order the film from the GSU and make your own copies.

• For mail orders, we cannot copy selectively from court records. We will copy the entire record only.

• Since we must receive payment before we can respond to a request, we cannot take orders by email. However, we will respond by email to your letter inquiring about copy costs, provided you have sent the $3.00 search fee with your inquiry.
