Probate records can be one or more of the following: wills, order books, appraisements, inventories and settlements. They are filed in the county court generally at the time the death occurred. There may be indexes to the probate records available. Wills record the name of the testator, a list of heirs and bequests, the appointment of executors, the date the will was created, and the signature of the testator and witnesses. Many will books are indexed. Appraisals and inventories were performed if a settlement was necessary. Neighbors or trusted citizens were appointed to conduct the inventory and appraisal which they then submitted to the county court. These documents may be recorded either in will books or in separate books called inventories and settlements or appraisements.
