About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Warren County (Bowling Green) Justice Center

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 Kentucky, the District Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Warren County (Bowling Green) Justice Center is listed as a registered probate court within Warren County, Kentucky.

In most instances within Kentucky, 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 Warren County probate court

Upon visiting the Warren County (Bowling Green) Justice Center, 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 Warren County (Bowling Green) Justice Center 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 literally have never met a group of more unhelpful and rude people. I understand with covid there’s not as many people being able to work but dang you ask a simple question and they’re so quick to snap. Funny how they court order therapy but they’re the ones who need it.

This place needs to get with the times. To change your address on your license, you need a paper document to prove your address. I hate to tell you guys this but it's 2018. All my lease documents and bills are sent digitally. So now I had to waste a trip going down there, and having to go back home and print a piece a paper to prove my address to just throw it away after its over. Also they charge you a 2.00 processing fee if you use a debit card, which most people use now to pay for things. Just a another way for the government to get money.
