Court Remains Closed to the Public

Processing Backlog of Approximately Five Weeks

Please be aware that the Wayne County Probate Court’s processing backlog is now
approximately five weeks. To see if your item has been filed, check the Court’s
website under Case Access; follow the instructions.

This processing delay also applies to receiving your Notice of Hearing and
requests for letters of authority for all types of cases. Hearing dates may not
be scheduled and updated Letters may not be received for roughly one to two
weeks after payment has been made.

Please continue to monitor our website for updates and other important
information. Please do not send emails asking for updates on your
filing/hearing/requests until after three weeks have passed, as responding to
the frequent inquiries slows our progress. Thank you for your patience as we
strive to provide quality service in these challenging times.


The Wayne County Probate Court is physically accessible to the public only by
drop-box; no in-person filings will be permitted. All hearings are to be
conducted remotely via ZOOM until further notice. Please click here for
information about attending hearings remotely.
