Centre County Wills & Estates
- Estate records have been recorded at the county level since the origin of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1682.
- Before 1800, for the area now known as Centre County, estate records can be found in Cumberland, Huntingdon, Lycoming, Mifflin or Northumberland Counties.
- Centre County's wills and estate files 1800-1990 can be found at the Centre County Library and Historical Museum in Bellefonte. This includes the County's earliest estate files which may include wills, but often are established for persons intestate (that is, without the deceased having left a will). An index can be found at the Pennsylvania Room of the Library.
- See also the Centre County Register of Wills office at the Willowbank Building in Bellefonte.
