Copy of Grant of Probate Scotland

[DannyBoyD]

Before everyone jumps on me - I know this is an Irish site!

Hoping someone may have experience of Scottish system & can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking to get a copy of grant of probate & will that likely was completed sometime after 2020.

Information online is very mixed.

There are references to "confirmation" as the scottish equivalent of probate

You're on the money - a friend just texted me that its called Confirmation & not probate in Scotland.

Will try a bit more searching.

For anyone else needing similar info, this is as far as I am for now.

They call it Confirmation rather than Probate.

There does not appear to be an online search or order facility.

You contact the Sherriff's office (honest!) in the district where the deceased lived.

Will keep you posted.

Lucky you don't have to contact the 'Procurator Fiscal'.

Use with caution, - there is no country whose legal constitutional name is the Republic of Ireland

No idea what this is supposed to mean.
