About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Henderson 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 North Carolina, the Superior Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Henderson County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Henderson County, North Carolina.

In most instances within North Carolina, 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.

Who to speak with when visiting the Henderson County probate court

Upon visiting the Henderson 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 Henderson 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.

Although frustrating at first, Susan put in a lot of time and effort to help me and I really appreciate it. It took a couple of hours of headache and unanswered called, but at the end of the day I am glad I was helped. I'd be remiss if I didn't remark once more how helpful and nice Susan L. was with helping me today. Give that woman a raise Henderson County!
