About visiting the probate court
About visiting the Sumner County District Court
The term probate court is a common term loosely referring to the probate division located within a state or county courthouse. In the state of Kansas, the District Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Sometimes a county may have multiple courthouses and may also have multiple probate court locations.

Who to speak with when visiting the Sumner County probate court
Upon visiting the Sumner County District Court, look for signs or directions to the probate division within the main courthouse. Once you’ve located the probate division, make your way to any reception desks and ask to speak with a probate clerk or probate judge. The probate clerk at Sumner County District Court may or may not require appointments based upon the busyness of the probate court, so it’s a great idea to call ahead.
Plan ahead to be early in case available parking is limited and be prepared for formal security measures upon entering the building, as courthouses are official state and federal property. This generally includes passing through metal detectors and allowing search of any belongings.
Many courthouses do not allow cell phones, so keep that in mind as your phone may need to be turned off upon entering the courthouse, or even left outside.

I have had excellent service when ever I have had business at the court house. From going to court (adopting my grandchildren) to tagging my vehicles, to paying my property taxes. The employee are very professional and helpful.
