Biographical history

Probate (also called proving a will) is the process of establishing the validity of a will, which was recorded in the grant of probate.

A covenant or deed of covenant was an agreement entered into by one of the parties to a deed to another. A covenant for production of title deeds was an agreement to produce deeds not being handed over to a purchaser, while a covenant to surrender was an agreement to surrender copyhold land.
