About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Indian River 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 Florida, the Circuit Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Indian River County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Indian River County, Florida.

In most instances within Florida, there is at least one Circuit 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 Indian River County probate court

Upon visiting the Indian River 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 Indian River 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.

Overall, I’d say the complex is above average in comparison to other courthouses. I think one has to take in account the reasons people have to visit here which can dictate a bit of how the employees treat customers. I’ve read some of the reviews about the security personnel and have to admit they’ve never really been cozy with me either but that’s part of what they are there for. They have to be at high alert all the time. That’s gotta take a toll on someone’s emotions over time. I’ve found many of the employees throughout the building to be very kind and helpful. I recommend this place.

Fast and efficient. No one wants to go to the courthouse, but the folks, here, made everything easy. Probate clerks were friendly, helpful, and informed.

The court house opens at 830am. The earliest I can drop my 7yr old at school is 815 am. So why am I, at the 11th hour, suddenly instructed to report for jury duty at 815am when I call in? WHY was this NOT on the original paperwork???? I just had to write my teenage son an excuse for an absence from high school because of a lack of communication. I would have written in to excuse myself if it would have been made clear my presence was required before the building even opens.

We expect our civil servants to be civil, not my experience today. Had an appointment today for possible jury duty at 8am, my car broke down at about 7:22am, on my way, couldn't call it in until they opened at 8am. Now, while I'm out in the morning heat in long sleeves, waiting for assistance I call the line and instead of sympathy and understanding what I get is a warning of things that may come. Not everybody is the same and can't be treated the same. I'm sure some people would rather not be bothered with the service, but, that's not me. The inconvenience to my daily responsibilities is great, but I, chose to do my duty, I even went down to the courthouse 2 months prior and arranged the appointment I had for today. I would rather, before you as a civil servant, get on the phone, check your attitude and preconceptions at the door before clocking in. My day was made worst because of you.

Nice building and design. I hope not to be in there many times. Too bad a small town like Vero Beach needs a huge Court House to keep the peace.
