About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Second Judicial District 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 Nevada, the District Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Second Judicial District Court is listed as a registered probate court within Washoe County, Nevada.

In most instances within Nevada, 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. 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 Washoe County probate court

Upon visiting the Second Judicial 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 Second Judicial 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.

Here's the most people who have to deal with the court system are in a compromised position and therefor are not going to be happy with their experience, expected. However when it comes down to dealing with the people who work here in the filing office they are as considerate as can be expected- it can be the easiest to constantly be asked questions that you are not allowed to answer because it would be considered legal advice- something they cannot give....hats ofc to y'all. And thanks for the assistance you provide

So due to California having their issue and being on the top of the totem pole makes life pretty weary for a Nevadans due to the increase in the virus and everybody being pushed over to Nevada and some new 70% infection rate is coming Nevada’s way so beyond the past homeless issue that we’ve been dealing with for a decade we’re going to throw another homeless issue on top of that so I was thinking with all this all this land that the realtors own and are doing nothing with could possibly be given to homeless individuals or sold out a way lower price just because that land is not being used and I think the best thing we can do if we get another shut down is to give the people that have nothing a piece of land to be upon for their safety because if we’re going to govern nice a country and run out of funds to Support our people then what are we gonna do about that

I’m not one to post any reviews, however I feel I have to post a review to express how poorly the girls treat the people that go in there. I understand there has to be a certain level of professionalism as well as them distancing themselves from people and their cases, but these people are the absolute worst! I went in being nothing but nice and polite, as I understand their jobs are difficult especially with some of the day to day people they encounter, and they were absolutely rude and acted like every little thing I asked was an inconvenience for them. Horrible horrible experience for an already intimidating process!

It's court... They may have the reputation of ahhhhh, scary! but they are there to help and they are all quite professional. I believe that every officer of the court or official I have encountered here is quite knowledgeable and has had my best interest in mind. The building itself is historic and something to look at in it's own regard. Just don't let all the shiny stars throw you off, They are all just people like you and me

The employees that work there in watch you when you visit your kids are not trained in family services and they treat the people like criminals if they dont like you they make up what ever they want and write anything down to make the parents look bad. As a tax payer they do not provide a service to the people nor the city
