Yes. The various steps that must be taken in probate court are actually presented to a judge for her/his signature. However, unless there is a contested issue that requires a hearing, the clerks review the various filings for technical defects or ambiguities. If any errors or deficiencies are found the documents will be returned to the petitioner for corrections. Once the documents meet the technical legal requirements they need only be signed by a judge to become effective and binding.

Yes. If you have GOOD CAUSE to believe that fraud is being perpetrated by the executor of the will you can bring your concern to the magistrate or the judge who is conducting the probate hearing(s). However, it is not within the purview of the court to conduct any investigation, you will have to produce proof of your allegation yourself. You should probably be represented by a good attorney who specializes in probate matters.


What is disposition of probate?

Probate is the legal process of determining if a will is valid. Disposition means that the judge has reviewed all claims against a person's estate and has ruled on the transfer of assets set forth in that person's will.
