The Probate Division of the 31st Judicial Circuit has statutory authority over the estates of deceased persons and incapacitated or disabled adults and minors, which may include a Guardianship or Conservatorship. The Probate Division also adjudicates cases involving wills and trusts, the estates of deceased persons who did not have a will, and cases involving a civil commitment to treatment facilities of persons who are mentally ill or who have substance abuse problems. The Probate Division Clerk is in the Judicial Court Facility, but in a location separate from the Circuit Clerk, and is the proper place to file matters properly under the authority of the Probate Division.
