We make records available to those who need access for a legal purpose.
Legal purposes means you need to find information to prove or defend a right or claim. For example:
- to prepare a legal case
- to establish something about a property purchase
- a case involving family law
We’ll supply digital copies wherever available, and can provide copies or extracts from original records.
We can provide:
- Sasine – extracts of deeds prior to 1 September 2006
- Burgh, Particular and General Registers - extracts and plain copy deeds of any dates
- Books of Council & Session – extracts and plain copy deeds dated prior to 1 September 2006
- Register of Inhibitions – plain copy and certified copy deeds dated prior to 1 October 2006
- Duplicate Plans
To request any of these records, contact us
Copies of estates and wills
We can provide copies of Confirmations of Estates and Wills recorded up to 1999.
