The Probate Court has jurisdiction over a variety of issues including all matters related to wills, trusts and estates, guardianships and involuntary commitment proceedings, adoptions, name changes and partition of real estate. Probate Judges preside over these cases from courthouses located in each of the ten counties throughout the state.
In contested matters, the probate court has a well developed mediation program through which probate trained mediators can be assigned to assist in the settlement of disputes at no charge to the parties.
This website is designed to provide you with access to information about our courts. In addition, there are four Service Centers staffed by trained coordinators who are available to provide assistance in opening a probate matter or to answer general questions which you might have about our courts.
