Maine Probate Courts
Each county in Maine has its own Probate Court. Probate Courts handle legal cases concerning wills and estates, guardianships, name changes and a few other family-related issues. If you are seeking a divorce or need a court to decide a paternity (unmarried parents) case, you need to go to your local District Court, not the Probate Court.
