🤔 What is a petition?

Think of a complaint or a motion in criminal court. But because Orphans' Court is a court of equity, they are called petitions! Look out for more info about this soon!

Here are some types of petitions that come before the Register:
- Petition to Admit a Copy of Will to Probate
- Petition for Citation to Appoint an Administrator
- Petition for Asset Jurisdiction
- Petition for Domicile
- Petition to Withdraw as Counsel
- Many more!

Hearings are typically held on issues including fitness to serve as Executor or Administrator or issues with the circumstances under which the will was executed. State and local law is used as the basis for these decisions.

Once a week, the Register and the First Deputy review the formal filings made to the Register. The First Deputy makes a recommendation, and the Register makes the final legal decision on whether a hearing is necessary.

Also featured in the photo is our wonderful receptionist Angela!

In their free time, they love enjoying cocktails, playing board games, and spending time with their Great Dane. They are getting married THIS FRIDAY at The Ivy at Ellis Preserve.

Congrats, Alexus and Samuel!
