The files of individual deceased persons contain biographical information about the person, their relatives, property, and inheritance.

Archival history:: The fonds has not been inventoried so its history is unknown. From the court registry, the documents were handed over to the Vlašim People's Court. After the expiration of statutory appraisal periods, the documents were gradually handed over to the Benešov District Archives.

Administrative/biographical history:: After the abolition of the lordship administration and with the establishment of a new organisation of political and judicial administration, the Vlašim District Court was established in 1850 for the judicial district of the same name. In the period from 26 May 1855 to 31 August 1868, the political and judicial administrations were merged into one office, which became the so-called mixed district office. The separation of political and judicial administrations took place again in 1868, when a district court was established, which existed until 1949.

System of arrangement:: The fonds is arranged as follows: 1. court agenda (II. File material: Auxiliary books, Files); 2. agenda of land books (I. Old land books and extracts from the old land books, II. Registry finding aids; III. Other documents)
