About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Lebanon 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 Pennsylvania, the Common Pleas Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Lebanon County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.

In most instances within Pennsylvania, there is at least one Common Pleas 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 Lebanon County probate court

Upon visiting the Lebanon 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 Lebanon 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.

Needed to file paperwork in the Register of Wills / Orphans Court today. The person who helped me was utterly delightful -- warm, personable, professional and kind. The PA turnpike was backed up so my trip to Lebanon from West Chester took triple the time. I was a tad frazzled from the traffic jams when I reached the Courthouse. Luckily, I arrived exactly on time for my appointment (without a minute to spare). It's time for bed now and I am still feeling thankful. Today's experience makes me want to take more cases in Lebanon County. 😊

My 18 year old son tried to register to vote online but his application was not accepted because the system wouldn't recognize his pa driver's license so he completed a hard copy application. Since it was the weekend we didn't think his application would be received by the Oct 19th cutoff. So we came to the courthouse to drop off the application. 2 hours later we are still in line trying to get into the voter registration to simply drop off his application. They are only letting 4 people go in at a time. Really? Just to drop off an application? Ridiculous!

The children and youth office in this building are completely useless. They do NOT care about the children. They seem to only be working for a paycheck. Even with proof of neglect and abuse they give warnings when they go out to make a visit. They have also gave warning that they will be checking the kid out for any abuse 3 WEEKS after the report was made which gives enough time for marks to go away, and enough time for the parent to scare the kid into lying. Not only that, the advice they give to the parent that is doing the abuse is ridiculous. Go to the police station and file for a restraining order on the one that keeps calling children and youth... YOU SHOULD BE DOING A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION...then maybe we wouldn't have to call all the time!!!!
