To Schedule Heirship Hearings:

Heirship cases are heard on both the regular docket and the uncontested probate docket, depending on the circumstances. An heirship case should be scheduled on the regular docket not only if a contest (or any answer that could be construed as a contest) has been filed, but also if there are unusual circumstances that need to be addressed – even if there is no contest about these issues. For example, schedule an heirship on the regular docket if there is a common-law marriage, an equitable adoption or a formal adoption about which there is a question, a declaratory judgment, a settlement agreement, DNA evidence, or expert testimony. Heirship cases should be scheduled on the uncontested docket only if there is no contest and there are no unusual circumstances that need to be addressed.

To schedule an heirship hearing, email the appropriate form to [email protected].
