Records/Copy Requests
Viewing Files and Requesting Copies
Viewing Files
Probate files may be reviewed from the computers located in the Records and Exhibits Management Unit at the Central Justice Center. If you are unsure of the case number for the file to be viewed, there are indexes online where you may find the court case number. If the request is for a record filed prior to1985, the microfiche or reel of that record is usually available for viewing and making copies.

Superior Court records may be searched from 1889 to present. Current case information is available online. You may search the case by case number, person name, or business name
