When someone dies, their estate may need to go through a legal process known as probate to distribute their assets and settle any outstanding debts. The Probate Registry provides information and support for individuals who need to apply for a grant of probate, as well as guidance on inheritance tax and other related matters.

They can also provide information on how to obtain copies of wills and other probate-related documents.
