ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW RESOURCE CENTER AT THE FRANKLIN COUNTY PROBATE COURT


I am proud to announce the creation of the Franklin County Probate Court Resource Center which will open later this month.
The Resource Center will be staffed by an independent lawyer (paid by the Probate Court) and provide assistance to the general public with their small estate Court needs.
Please review the information on our website regarding these subject areas and watch our website for additional information regarding the opening of the Resource Center.

Minor Settlement Hearings

Beginning on May 6, 2024 we will schedule minor settlement hearings, electronically, every Monday afternoon from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  and every other Thursday afternoon from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  We will have four open hearing slots each afternoon. 

Hearings will continue to be scheduled using the “e-hearing locator.”  The e-hearing schedule has been updated to reflect this change.  As before, a proposed entry setting hearing must be uploaded with the appropriate hearing date to the e-filing system.

Our minor settlement hearings will continue to be held via zoom, unless counsel requests a live hearing.
