Under the supervision of the Circuit Court, the Register in Probate
oversees the administration of estates, “testamentary” trusts,
guardianships, and mental health commitments. The Register in
Probate also makes and keeps records of proceedings; and maintains
records of wills admitted to probate, wills for safekeeping,
guardianships, and mental health commitments. Matters involving
“living” or “inter vivos” trusts are handled in the Circuit Court
through the Clerk of Courts, not through the Register in Probate
Office.

What is Probate?
Probate estate administration is a court supervised process for the
orderly transfer of a decedent's assets to those persons or entities
entitled to receive them and may involve transfers under the laws of
intestacy or transfers pursuant to a will which has been "admitted
to probate" by the court.
We hope that this website will be of use to you concerning the
