About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Montgomery 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 Tennessee, the Probate Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Montgomery County Court is listed as a registered probate court within Montgomery County, Tennessee.

In most instances within Tennessee, there is at least one Probate 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 Montgomery County probate court

Upon visiting the Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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.

Not high on the to-do list while travelling, but should you find yourself with an 'appointment', come well dressed and well represented, arrive early, and be polite. It's a courthouse, get it? The courthouse ia a quaint, old historic building like something out of a movie... Footsteps echo down the polished halls. Spotless and efficient. Parking is easy and cheap and daytime eats are across the street.

I had court today here. The people ballifs/C/O people that let you in treated me like I was a criminal because I was late to a court date 5 hours from where I live. My wife proceeded to ask to go to speak with a clerk to show proof of insurance, this lady c/o or whatever she thought she was tells her to go to window 5 show it to them and leave immediately the whole time the woman was yelling causing a scence. Finally my girlfriend who struggles with BPD asked to speak to her post. She laughed in my wofes face and then waited for ber her boss to show up & mocked her yet again saying she wants to complain about me while smirking. Maybe the girl got picked on in High school. The judge and clerks were very personable but with that one woman there I give this woman 1 stars

Dunce cap for these people. They expect a night shift person that normally sleeps days to be on jury duty with only 12 hour notice. They expect me to check at 5 pm to see if I am selected and if I am to try to go back to sleep during the night when I can't and try to stay awake during the next day when I can't. All that does is make me more vulnerable to getting sick and a hazard on the road during the day.
