Each state developed its own court system and procedures for handling probates. In most states, the county clerk records probate. Consider the following for probate jurisdictions:


 * Search all probate courts in a county.
 * Search all states where the individual resided or had property.
 * Use a statewide index to wills or probate whenever possible.
