To retrieve Cook County Probate and Wills Records requires a 2-step process. These records are not stored at the courthouse, only the index is. If a will or probate case is found in the index, the records will be transferred from an off site storage facility for viewing on another day. This process can take a few weeks
Fee if I find the record you requested: $50.00
Fee if I don’t find the record after a thorough search: $10.00
Please state name of person who you are looking for and the approximate year or year range for death. Also, include any maiden names for females (if known) and any alias names used. Please include any additional information that you think may be helpful. Thank you.
