About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Martin 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.

Martin County Courthouse is listed as a registered probate court within Martin 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.

Who to speak with when visiting the Martin County probate court

Upon visiting the Martin 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 Martin 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.

They are great, and when you go to jail from Court. You don't sit very long. Wear white socks, so your feet don't get cold in the holding cell. It's the only color allowed. But thank God I quit drinking. Few officers remember me.

Any time I've had to come to Martin County Court House I'm always greeted with smiling Officer's either outside and or the Officer's running the Metal Detection inside. I appreciate the friendliness and offer it back to them and appreciate thier jobs in keeping everyone safe. * Another office located inside the Courthouse is, the Child Support Division. I had the opportunity yesterday and today to meet a great employee named Darrall, who really took the time to help me through a booklet of legal papers which some were very confusing and he helped me with every question I had in order to submit the necessary papers to get the Child Support STILL owed to me and our now, adult Son (24 years and counting)! This is what people like me have to do if you cannot afford your own Attorney especially if your child's Father rarely if ever pays the Court ordered Child Support (for 24 year's), yes I'm aware I repeated that, it was worth repeating, it's ridiculous, I know! However, Darrall was awesome with everything, and I really appreciated it!
