IN Probate Forms
Show Table of ContentsThere are a number of state-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.
General Forms
In Indiana, the local Circuit or Superior Court handles wills and estate probate. St. Joseph County is the only Indiana county that also has a specialized Probate Court.
You can check with your local court for the forms they might prefer, and below you will find some of the more common IN forms:
- Petition to Appoint Personal Representative - Get the probate process started
- Heir Notice of Administration - Notify heirs of probate administration
- Creditor Notice of Administration - Notify creditors of probate administration
- Publish Notice of Administration - Publish notice of probate administration
- Estate Inventory - You may use to attach EstateExec's Inventory Report
- Final Accounting - Submit final estate financials to court
- Notice of Accounting - Inform distributees of accounting submission
Indiana does not provide state-wide forms, so above we have provided example probate forms from Allen County: you can either contact your local court to see if they have a preferred form, adapt one of the above forms for your particular county, make up your own form, or have a lawyer do it for you.
You can also see the Probate Forms section of Allen County Court Forms for other sample probate forms you may find useful.
Small Estates
Small estates sometimes need only 1 specialized form or affidavit: see Small IN Estates.
