• Record series in the index: NRS 13538
• Entries in the index: 22,500+
• Copy service available
• A volunteer project.

This is a very large series of records comprising 964 boxes. The records have been indexed up until 1913 [6/3481-3910] (excluding boxes of miscellaneous papers) [10/27478-27949], and [6/26823-24, 6/26843-45].

We will copy the Intestate Estate Case Papers in their entirety up to the value of $30.00. We cannot look for particular documents as this would involve research and we do not undertake research on behalf of enquirers.

If the number of documents in the file exceeds copies to the value of $30.00 you will be contacted and asked if you are willing to pay an additional amount to have the remainder of the file copied. If you do not wish to pay the additional amount, the copies will be made in the order in which the documents are stored.

To order copies of records that are not yet listed in the online index you can order from here and provide the following details:

• surname
• first name
• year of death
• Intestate Estate Case Paper number
• Container/Box number (if known)
