About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Caribou 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.

Caribou County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Caribou 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 Caribou County probate court

Upon visiting the Caribou 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 Caribou 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.

Judge misconduct. My case was a divorce. I filed for divorce first in Utah. Later, my ex husband filed for divorce in Idaho. Judge Kress (probably not spelling it correctly) seemed to act as an attorney for my ex by calling the Utah judge to say my divorce case should be held in Idaho. My ex did not file a Motion to Dismiss the Utah divorce case. He didn't file anything in Utah. So not only was a judge doing work for my ex but displayed misconduct. . . This judge signed a default divorce when I did not receive notice of default. He signed a Motion to Continue on the day of the scheduled trial. I took off an entire day, rescheduled my kids' dentist appointments and traveled for nothing. Also, I informed the judge that my ex was friends with a clerk (a blonde who attended the same church). I also informed him the clerk working that day (brunette who fake bakes) was extremely rude and kept making dirty looks towards me and my friend. The judge started yelling at me for my statements. My friend was too scared to tell the judge she also saw the clerk's rude behavior. The judge told me information about my ex's last divorce and that he also attends church with my ex. Can anyone say Conflict of Interest? Talk about Jerry Springer. I filed a complaint against the judge. Soda Springs' court needs to get its head out of its butt. Rules should be rules regardless of it being a small town or not.

The motor vehicle department is terrible. The worst service possible (mostly from the supervisor). Very rude and misleading! They will take any chance to charge you extra fees without your knowledge!

OVERVIEW - 5.0 Came here as I was passing through to take care of an issue with my car title. LOCATION - 5 Located on Main Street, the Court House is pretty darn hard to miss, especially if you live in Soda Springs, I'm sure. PRICE - N/A There is plenty of fees attached to local and national government, but to place a score for this category would be unfair. PRODUCT/SERVICE - 5 I was able to get my car title re-issued for a reasonable price, where it was actually originally issued in another county. There was no issues, so no complaints on my part. POINTERS/PERKS - 5 There are plenty of historical artifacts inside for your viewing pleasure. I would recommend looking at the local history and the names attached to who donated them. I also enjoyed looking at the county commissioners in the past (as more than a few are family and ancestors). EMPLOYEES - 5 Everyone was so friendly, and helpful.

Very very disappointed in this court house! My 9 year old son has called twice and even went in there to inform them that our American Flag that they fly over the military dedication monuments is ripped and torn. Almost a month later and its still up! Total disgrace to our military!!!
