The following index was compiled from the official record of Inheritance Tax Records filed in the Gilpin County, County Court during these years. The information contained in the record generally shows the name of the estate, date of filing, case number, name of the deceased, date of death, a description of real and personal property, value of the estate, tax liability due and names of next of kin.

An earnest effort was made to transcribe each name correctly. However, some of the handwritten entries were hard to read, making it difficult to ensure the spelling of a name is accurate. Please check similar or closely spelled names as this may help you in your search.

If you find a name on this list and would like a copy of that person’s record, please contact us. We will respond to regular mail, e-mail (please include your postal address in the e-mail), and phone requests.
