About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Hampden County Superior Court

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 Massachusetts, the Probate and Family Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Hampden County probate court

Upon visiting the Hampden County Superior Court, 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 Hampden County Superior Court 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.

If I could give this place zero stars I would! The entire Legal Infrastructure is flawed to the MAXIMUM extent. On this occasion I will direct my attention to the 24hr Menstrual Cycle with legs who goes by the mame of Jessica from the Court Service Center accross from the main Elevator. She was rude, had a very poor attitude, and is by all obvious intentions and projected body language RACIST. I sat at the computer and watched how at 10:30 am she was dismissing black citizens who needed assistance filling out forms, which is what she gets paid to do, turn them away telling them to come back at 2:00pm. Shortly after at 11:00am a bailiff walks in with a white gentleman in his mid 50s. He says “hey Jess this is a buddy of mine” he needs help filling out some forms for child support! While the black folks who were in the hallway wating for the next 3hrs, she lets the man in placing him at the front of the line as a favor to the bailiff. She thought no one noticed but I did! As for me I had to do everything for myself because after I told her she didn’t know how to do her job! Shortly after her incompetent intern misinformed me on what my next steps were for a small claim, she said she was “done with me”.... So I asked her for her supervisors number. Someone who she says goes by the name Karen! She then proceeds to give me said number on a post it note and when I called it guess who picked up? Jessica. She said she would fwd me to Karens voicemail but hung up on me instead! SHE DESERVES TO BE FIRED

Second time in 5 years I went here for jury duty. They say they respect your time, but this is the second time now we sit around all day and nothing happens. No communication, and your left to wonder how the system even operates this way . No wonder it takes years for anything to happen .
