The County Clerk serves as Clerk of the Court for County Court at Law 2 and the County Judge. These courts hear issues associated with the estates of deceased persons, guardianships for incapacitated persons and mental health commitments. The Clerk’s Probate Division issues citations, letters of guardianship, letters of testamentary, notices, and other documents as required by law or requested by customers.
The Kaufman County Clerk’s office is happy to help you file documents or locate records, but we cannot answer legal questions. Legal matters often require the assistance of an attorney, and the law prevents us from providing legal advice to any person. If you have questions regarding legal matters, please consider contacting an attorney of your choice for information or answers to specific legal questions.
The Probate Judges in Kaufman County require an attorney to file a case. In exception of a Small Estate Affidavit.
