Seeking post-mortem estate records (Dødsbo) for Generalkonsul Jens Martin Bolstad (died 1905)

[Chris1008]

Hello,

I am conducting extensive historical research regarding Generalkonsul Jens Martin Bolstad, who served as the Consul-General for Norway and Sweden in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He died in Curitiba, Brazil, on December 25, 1905.

According to British probate records from London (dated May 1906), his estate included effects worth £3222, and the administration was granted to his brother, the parish priest (sogneprest Johan Norberg Bolstad), who was stationed in Stryn around 1906/1907.

The Brazilian archival records from Curitiba deal almost exclusively with his local burial expenses and the arrangements made by Vice-Consul Johan Frulund. However, they lack the specific inventory of personal items that were sent back to Norway. 

I am trying to locate the official post-mortem estate, consular settlement, or probate records (dødsbo / skifterett / konsulatoppgjör) handled by the Norwegian authorities or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when his wealth and remaining effects were transferred to his brother, Pastor Johan Norberg Bolstad, between 1906 and 1907.

Specifically, I am looking for any detailed inventory list to confirm if his official consular gala uniform, dress sword, or signet ring were returned to Norway or if they were buried with him in Brazil, as no such items ever appeared in public auctions or family collections.

Could anyone please assist me in locating the specific archive fund, shelf mark, or ledger from the Regional State Archives (Statsarkivet) or Riksarkivet that covers the private estate and official consular accounts for Jens Martin Bolstad or his brother Johan Norberg Bolstad during 1906–1907?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
