Probate Court Resource Center

The Cuyahoga County Probate Court offers a Resource Center for self-represented parties. The purpose of this service is not to offer legal advice. The Resource Center is available to assist you with questions about a simple estate, guardianship or name change. This includes the general review of all Probate forms and procedures. Complicated estates or guardianships, drafting a will, trusts, adoption proceedings or any contested matter cannot be handled by the Resource Center; a referral would be made to the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association to obtain the name of a probate attorney.

The Resource Center is staffed by a licensed attorney. The Resource Center is open Monday through Thursday from 9:30 A.M. TO 3 P.M. To schedule an appointment please call (216) 443-8769. We are unable to accommodate walk-in appearances at this time.

All parties are limited to one visit per case.
