About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Hennepin 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 Minnesota, the District Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Hennepin County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Hennepin County, Minnesota.

In most instances within Minnesota, there is at least one District 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 Hennepin County probate court

Upon visiting the Hennepin 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 Hennepin 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.

Atrocious marriage ceremony by the office of Judge Sara West I called Judge Sara West's office to schedule a marriage ceremony on a Saturday. I specifically asked the staff member whether the building would be open on a Saturday and where. The staff member assured me that it would be. On the day of, we arrived and all the doors on 4 fronts were closed. It was -20 degrees outside and we had to wait 20 minutes knocking on doors until a security guard saw us. For a service of more than 200 USD, I expected to at least get inside the building, but the lack of coordination leaves a lot to be desired.

Nice view from the 24th floor jury room. I haven't seen US Bank Stadium from this angle. A few years ago the jury room moved out of the basement and onto the 24th floor with these nice views.

I'm pretty disgusted with this place. My partner and I have ordered a marriages license twice from here at the end of November and mid December. We have attempted to call a number of times to inquire about where our marriage license is and nobody meets our call. We ordered this marriage license for proof in insurance so that my partner is insured. Presently, my partner is without insurance because after many attempts in communicating and ordering our marriage license, we have nothing.

It is a public building and courthouse. Security cue was quite long, but security team tried to manage expectations in a professional and polite manner. 70s building, but nice interior.
