Probate Court
Probate originally meant "relating to proof; afterwards, relating to the proof of wills." The proof before an ordinary, surrogate, register or other duly authorized person that a document produced before him for official recognition and registration, and alleged to be the last will and testament of a certain deceased person is such reality. (Black's Law Dictionary)
The Probate Court has had several relating definitions over the years; the Widows and Orphans Court, the Poor Court, and the Court of Protection. All of these terms fit the decription of the Probate Court.
The Probate Court carries out the following procedures:
- Adoptions
- Guardianship of Minors
- Guardianships
- Conservatorships
- Change of Names
- Estates
- Trusts
- Beginning Sept. 18, 1999 - Support of Enforcement
