About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Ada County Courthouse

The term probate court is a common term loosely referring to the probate division located within a state or county courthouse. In the state of Idaho, the Superior Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Ada County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Ada County, Idaho.

In most instances within Idaho, there is at least one Superior Court courthouse location within each county. Sometimes a county may have multiple courthouses and may also have multiple probate court locations. Such is often the case in larger metropolis counties where population is dense or also in spread-out, rural counties, which may use a courthouse annex or satellite office system to accommodate nearby citizens with easier access in proximity or distance.

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Ada County probate court

Upon visiting the Ada County Courthouse, look for signs or directions to the probate division within the main courthouse. Once you’ve located the probate division, make your way to any reception desks and ask to speak with a probate clerk or probate judge. The probate clerk at Ada County Courthouse may or may not require appointments based upon the busyness of the probate court, so it’s a great idea to call ahead.

Plan ahead to be early in case available parking is limited and be prepared for formal security measures upon entering the building, as courthouses are official state and federal property. This generally includes passing through metal detectors and allowing search of any belongings.

Many courthouses do not allow cell phones, so keep that in mind as your phone may need to be turned off upon entering the courthouse, or even left outside.
Infographic reminder to bring cash, government issued ID, death certificate and relevant last will & testament documents when visiting probate court.

After getting pulled over for an expired registration, I was given a ticket. This is the second time I’ve been pulled over and the first time I’ve been given a ticket. The officer was so nice and said, “I don’t want you to worry about this. Just renew your registration, take it to the courthouse, and this will be a “fix-it ticket”. He also said I was so polite and honest about the situation. Well, I go to the courthouse and when I ask them about my “fix it ticket” they say sorry we can’t do it. I HATE to be lied to. The officer made it sound like this would be a forgiven ticket and my record would still be clean. Well, he lied to me and now I’ve lost my faith in the police just like everyone else has.

I never thought I would live long enough to be denied entry into a government building (this is before the STAR CARD). "Why are you here? DO you have an Appointment? You can't come in without an Appointment. Unbelievable.

I hope none of you ever get judge Kimble he is a deplorable judge and has no business wearing that robe. He made his decision on my case on day one that I was guilty without reading over the case or seeing any evedence. I had a $2500 bond I paid in full that I requested to be reduced or cancelled during the full year my case was in litigation and he denied me every time even though i showed up to every court date.I was actually the victim in my battery case not the aggressor when the state finally read over the case (1 day before trial) they saw that was the case and on the trial date filled a motion to dismiss the judge sat for 10 minutes looking over the paperwork instead of just immediately dropping the case like he should have reluctantly dismissed the case. Now he is refusing to exonerate my bond and the courts still have my money a month later and will not give it back until he signs off on it which he is refusing to do. What a piece of garbage he should be disbarred and fired.

Got written up for no insurance even though i had insurance he just didn't want to rummage around in my glove box. I sent the appropriate proof of insurance to all the the relevant authorities even tried to contact the courthouse. (i didn't want to go in person because I'm busy and covid) and they told me 4 DAYS INTO the scheduled time for court appearance that my case hadn't been filed yet. I tried to Just pay the ticket because it wasn't worth it but again my case wouldn't come up in mycourt like they said. I tried calling the police department like they told me. Never got a call back. THEN I GET A LETTER SAYING I DIDN"T APPEAR AT COURT I HAVE AN ADDITIONAL FINE ON TOP OF THE TICKET! WHAT THE HELL! DO YOUR DAM PAPERWORK!

where to start? I know how frustrating it can be to deal with technical stuff when you really just want to share that killer recipe. Whether you want to start a cooking blog, or you want to become a more successful food blogger, I hope these tips will ease your technical troubles. Ready to start a beautiful food blog? You have two options: Hire a web designer to do it for you. Custom designs usually cost thousands of dollars, but they are certainly an option if you have the money to spend. Be sure to ask for references and wait times before you write a check. Do it yourself. I’ll explain how to build your own self-hosted WordPress website below. It will cost you as little as $2.95 per month in hosting, plus the cost of a theme (free to $130). I built this site myself using the tools provided below, so I know you can do it! This page contains affiliate links, meaning I get a commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links. I only link to products that I have used myself and wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you for your support. Start your own food blog: the basic steps Here are the basic steps to set up a self-hosted WordPress food blog that is both beautiful and functional. Your blog will have your own domain name and your own distinct look, and it will be able to scale with you as your blog grows. When you’re starting a food blog, I recommend following these steps for a greater shot at success. 1) Name your blog and buy a matching domain name. Domain names are short, memorable and typically end in .com (yourblogname.com). Cost: free with Bluehost or around $15 per year elsewhere. 2) Find a reliable web host. A web host stores your website and makes it accessible to the world wide web. In other words, your website “lives” on your web host’s servers. Cost: $2.95 per month and up. 3) Install WordPress. WordPress is top-of-the-line, industry standard blogging software. Cost: free! 4) Install a WordPress theme. Your WordPress theme will determine the look, feel and functionality of your website. Cost: free to $130.
