Register of Probate / Probate Court

The Probate Court staff consists of a Deputy Register, legal secretary and three probate clerks who support all functions of the Registry and Probate Court, and who maintain and record all probate document filings.

While we are proud of the excellent customer service provided by our staff, the probate clerks cannot give legal advice.  If you require legal assistance or advice, please contact an attorney.
