About visiting the Leavenworth County District Court

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Leavenworth County probate court

Upon visiting the Leavenworth County District 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 Leavenworth County District 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.

I went to small claims court on August 11,2020 and the defendant didn’t show up and all the judge could say is there’s nothing we can do since we don’t know if defendant received papers. What??? The way I see it is he failed to appear my claim should be mines period! If things don’t get handled properly I will have them investigated!!

I went here last week to vote. The two ladies who were in charge of the ballots and IDs were pretty decent except the older gentleman in the room. He made me feel like I was a nuisance. I kindly asked if I was supposed to wipe down the table (Covid 19 measure) after I was finished and he replied really loudly “No, that’s MY JOB!” I was embarrassed and humiliated, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Just rude.

This court system is terrible at responding and addressing the needs of the cases at hand. Cases are easily dismissed without cases being solved. Seems as if its only about money. Being ordered to pay. No justice at this justice center. They only want to discuss court fees, tickets, and jail time. Anything negative and anything that will make them money. Victims suffer. Welcome to the world today. Your Federal system. This State system. Rigged and not right.
