probate courts

Probate courts are usually trial courts with the authority to hear only matters relating to wills, estates, probate, guardianships, and conservatorships. Courts dedicated to these matters are usually located in populous counties and are said to have exclusive jurisdiction (authority) over such matters within the county.

In North Dakota, probate matters are handled by the district courts rather than separate probate courts. The district courts have jurisdiction over cases involving wills, estates, probate, guardianships, and conservatorships. These courts operate at the county level and have the authority to hear and decide on such matters within their respective counties. North Dakota does not have separate probate courts even in populous counties; instead, all probate-related issues are managed by the district courts, which serve as the trial courts for these types of cases. The district courts have exclusive jurisdiction over probate matters, meaning they are the only courts that can make legal decisions regarding the administration of a deceased person's estate, the validity of wills, and the appointment of guardians and conservators.
