About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Perquimans 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 North Carolina, the Superior Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

About visiting the probate court

Who to speak with when visiting the Perquimans County probate court

Upon visiting the Perquimans 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 Perquimans 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.

This monument is on the Perquimans County Courthouse lawn, a tribute to one of Perquimans County's favorite sons, Jim "Catfish" Hunter. Not only a great baseball player, but a great human being.
