Local Procedures at the County Court
Cut-off for e-filing probate and guardianship cases is 4:30 PM each Thursday, so the Clerk can issue and post the citation in time for the 10-day posting period to run. Do not submit a cover letter or cover sheet as the lead document; a proposed order is a lead document and must be e-filed to the Clerk (not sent directly to the judge), who presents it for signature.
