PLEASE NOTE: Beginning December 1, 2017, Judge Janis Keyser will be handling Probate, Guardianship and Family (Div. FA) matters. Some of the Probate & Guardianship cases currently handled by Judge Keyser will be re-assigned to the other Family/Probate/Guardianship Judges and the Clerk will be issuing a Notice of Re-Assignment for those cases.
