About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Jefferson County 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 Colorado, the District Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Jefferson County Court is listed as a registered probate court within Jefferson County, Colorado.

In most instances within Colorado, 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.

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Jefferson County probate court

Upon visiting the Jefferson County 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 Jefferson County 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.

As far as courts go . Pretty good. Professional / non biased prosecuting attorney . Judge was personable . Would not attend again willingly but it was definitely a better environment than Denver county courts. Michael in the clerks office specifically was a very nice and pleasant employee there . I'm saying all this from the stand point of having just plead guilty to criminal charges . There are FAR worse courts .

Magistrate on my case is suppose to be an unbias court person but she's been far from that. I can say that chances are you will empty your pockets and this place will steal any joy in your heart. Good luck to anyone who is brought in front of the unjust court proceedings here

Offer problem solving courts (Recovery court, Veterans treatment court, family treatment courts and more). These courts offer treatment instead of continued incarceration. Giving those in the criminal justice systems hope to get better and out of a vicious cycle of jail instead of treatment! Outstanding initiatives that have helped SO many!
