General Summary
The Probate Court has jurisdiction over cases about the admission of wills, administration of estates and trusts, treatment of the mentally ill, guardianship, and conservatorships for minors, adults, and adults who are developmentally disabled. There are many other areas of Probate Court jurisdiction, which have been defined by the legislature through the enactment of statutes. In addition to the above roles, the Probate Judge also acts as a Family Court Judge dealing with Juvenile delinquency, child abuse, and neglect cases, name changes, adoptions, emancipation proceedings, divorce, custody, and paternity cases which overlap with the traditional juvenile caseload, to assure that one judge handles all family issues for one family.
