[0] => Probate is the certificate granted by a court to confirm that the will of a deceased person has been proved and registered in court and that a right to administer their effects has been granted to the executor proving the will. The process of probate administration was undertaken by the High Court of New Zealand (known as the Supreme Court of New Zealand up to 1 April 1980), beginning in December 1841 under the provisions of the Supreme Court Ordinance 1841. Judges of District Courts (not to be confused with the Magistrate's Courts that became District Courts in 1980) were also given the authority to grant Probates of Wills and Letters of Administration under section 27 of the District Courts Act 1858, where there were no Supreme Court Judge residing or hearing cases. District Courts were abolished in 1925. Some District Courts acted as High Court registries and undertook probate administration.
