The specific process and location for filing a probate case can vary depending on the jurisdiction in which the deceased person (decedent) lived and owned property. Generally, probate cases are filed in the probate court of the county where the decedent lived at the time of their death. If the decedent owned property in multiple counties or states, additional probate proceedings may be required in those jurisdictions.
To initiate the probate process, you typically need to file certain documents, such as a petition for probate, with the appropriate probate court. It's essential to check the local rules and requirements of the probate court where you intend to file the case, as procedures and forms can vary significantly between jurisdictions. If you're unsure where to file or how to begin the probate process, consulting with an attorney who specializes in probate law in your area can be beneficial.
