    Administration bonds how do they work ?

    I have an administration bond from 1762,the executor had to pay the sum of £275.This seems a hell of a lot to pay at the time.Also was this £275 returned once the will was proved.
    Thanks in advance.

    Durham University has the answer!

    NEI Project: Probate Bonds

    The North East Inheritance Project offers a catalogue of the probate records of people who lived in the North-east of England between the 16th and 19th centuries


    Although they write specifically about Durham I am preety sure it was the same everywhere.
