Probate court by county
Probate is filed where the person who died last lived — so the court you need is a local one. Pick a state to see every county in it, then open the county page for where to file, the deadlines that apply, and the small-estate threshold. 3,143 counties and county-equivalents across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Every county page carries the official court link where we hold a verified one; where we do not, it points to that state's official court directory instead. We never guess a courthouse.
Work out the numbers
The county pages summarize the rules. To put your own dates and figures through them, use the free probate calculators, or print your state's after-a-death checklist.
This tool provides general educational information, not legal advice. Statutory thresholds and deadlines vary by state and county and change over time; results are estimates based on the date of death you enter. Kindeed is not a law firm. For your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney in your state. Where a value is shown as “varies — confirm locally,” we don’t hold a verified figure and you should confirm it directly with the probate court or a licensed professional.
