Probate Court Computer Link

Good news. We now have two computers that are connected to the Middlesex Probate Court's docket database. One of these computers is in the upper record hall where the public has access; the other is in our customer service office. These computers permit you to search the probate court docket by name to determine whether an estate exists. It will be of great help to those doing titles here. We're not yet sure how far back the data goes (our initial experiments suggest it might only be a few years ago) but this will become increasingly useful as time goes by. Not only are you able to find the docket number of the estate, but you are also able to look at all docket entries to ascertain what's been filed and when (although you can't see the documents themselves). The system also has access to the divorce and other probate court databases (in Middlesex) in a similar manner.
