Hi Carolyn,
It depends on where in the world the probate records you're looking for are stored, but if you're interested in the Probate Registry for England & Wales, this link should give you the information you're after:
http://www.ancestor-search.info/NAT-Probate.htmYou might be lucky though and find that your local Archives office has copies of the National Probate Calendar which go up to the late 60s or even early 70s. For example, Nottinghamshire Archives has copies which cover the period 1858 to 1968, so a local archives office might be your best bet first of all. :-)
