If someone needs to find the name of a person in the Probate records, they can find the name in the computer if it is 1998 to present. If the case is older, the name must be searched in the index books located in the Records Department of the County Clerk's Office. This will give the person a reference (case) number. If a person requests the clerk to do the search, we must have a written request with a $10 fee.
We cannot recommend any attorney, we recommend you call the local Bar Association for helpful information regarding attorneys in this area.
