General Information:
The Probate department is responsible for filing and maintaining records on probate actions, as well as receiving and disbursing money as ordered by the court. Types of cases include: guardianships and conservatorships, estates, care and treatment for mentally ill persons or alcoholics, and adoptions. Care and treatment cases, as well as adoptions, are confidential records.
​
The probate clerks process approximately 2,700 cases each year. They file new cases, enter information on the computer, and issue pleadings, which involves a substantial amount of counter work and data entry.
