About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Henry County Probate 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 Georgia, the Superior Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Henry County Probate Court is listed as a registered probate court within Henry County, Georgia.

In most instances within Georgia, 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 Henry County probate court

Upon visiting the Henry County Probate 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 Henry County Probate 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.

From the moment I walked through the door the woman at the front door behaved grumpy like me being there ruined her day. There was no greeting and the first thing she said to me was what are you here for. She eventually warmed up though. The receptionist was pleasant, however the next women I worked with was Roshika Patterson and she was extremely rude. As I approached her desk she was talking to another associate but stuck her hand out at me waving for me to hand her something. She didn’t even look at me and there was no greeting! I said good morning and asked her what documents she needed. She took the paper I received from the receptionist and gave me forms to verify the information on the forms. I pointed out that my phone number was incorrect and she told me to scratch it out and write in the correct number. I asked her if she had a pen that I could use and her response was “there’s a pen right there” with a huge attitude! The pen was attached to a chain and was hanging down so low I didn’t even notice it in my peripheral vision! I responded by saying that “I wouldn’t have asked her for a pen if I saw the pen hanging down” and felt like I should apologize (which I did) since my question seemed to upset her. Once I finished the forms she and paid she directed me to wait in the lobby. The next employee I worked with was officer K. Palmer and he was extremely pleasant! He addressed me by name, answered all of my questions, and was very positive overall. The one positive experience was that I was in and out! The process flowed smoothly. If a supervisor/manager happens to read this review please talk with your staff about being more pleasant. The rudeness was not necessary nor did I deserve it.

We live in Clayco and the wait time for marriage licenses was almost 2 months! We checked Henry and it was about 2 weeks! It's important that you make the appointment first and then fill out the form within 2 weeks of your appointment. After making the appointment we filled out the form a week before. We were sent an email the day before our appointment with a link to click when we arrived. We got there on time clicked the link to check in and a few minutes later we got a phone call asking us to come in. We were in and out within 20 minutes! Very simple and easy.
