Probate Notes

** NOTE: Effective September 12, 2011, publication of the Probate Notes is suspended until further notice. **

The Court posts Probate Notes showing Court Staff’s evaluation of certain matters pending in Probate Court.  The Probate Notes represent staff’s recommendations to the Court, and are not tentative rulings.  If the Probate Notes indicate that a petition should be granted, no appearance is required at the hearing.  The matter will be deemed submitted on the papers.  If the Court does not follow staff recommendations, appropriate instructions will be issued.  If your matter is not addressed in the Probate Notes, then you must appear at the hearing.

Probate notes are kept on the website for 7 days following the hearing.
