The Genesee County Probate Court is a county wide specialized trial court system responsible for overseeing, some of the most sensitive legal matters that affect individuals and families. The court administers deceased persons’ estates, whether or not a valid will exists, by ensuring assets are identified, debts are paid, and property is distributed according to state law.
It also supervises trusts, appoints guardians and conservators for minors and incapacitated adults, and handles mental health proceedings under the Michigan Mental Health Code, including involuntary commitments.
The Genesee County Probate Court plays a critical role in protecting vulnerable individuals while ensuring the orderly and lawful management of property and personal affairs, operating with careful adherence to statute, due process, and judicial oversight.
