Probate Court

Welcome from the Administrative Judge

            The Probate Courts handle a wide variety of cases from courthouses located in each of the ten counties throughout the State.  Our jurisdiction involves family issues including adoptions, wills, trusts and estates, and provides protection for some of the State’s most vulnerable citizens through guardianship and involuntary commitment proceedings. 

          We know and understand that coming to court can be a confusing and intimidating experience.  This website is designed to provide you with basic information about the Probate Courts which we hope will make your experience with the court go as smoothly as possible.  Through the use of this site you will find easy access to a myriad of forms used by the Probate Courts.

          Each county has an elected Register of Probate and staff to assist you in your access to the court.  Please feel free to contact our court personnel with your questions or concerns.
