Additional Resources
You can visit the county website at http://www.showmeboone.com/publicadmin/ for information about the Boone County Public Administrator. This elected official is responsible for the custodial and administrative management of the estates of deceased individuals, as well as the estates and affairs of minors and incapacitated or disabled persons when no legal guardian or conservator is appointed or available.
Old Probate Records
Below, you will find two indices for the Probate Division records in Boone County, Missouri. These indices can be used to search for probate records from 1819 to 1981. If an estate was open for the individual you are researching during this period, you can search by name to locate the estate file number.
Once you have the estate number, you will need to view the file in person at the Boone County Courthouse, as no files are available online at this time. Please note that these indices are the only ones available for these years. Contact the Probate Division if you wish to view the file and determine its availability.
Note: Both indices are quite large and may take several minutes to load. If you prefer, you can right-click on the link, select "Save target as...", and save the file to your local drive to browse at your convenience.
You may contact the Probate Division if you have questions at (573) 886-4090
