Probate Forms (IN)
There are a number of state-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.
This page lists common IN forms and offers help in locating others. While you are welcome to browse these forms, note that the Tasks Tab will guide you through the use of relevant forms at the appropriate times.
General IN 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.
Below you will find links that allow you to download and use some of the more common IN probate forms (you may want to check with your local court for form preferences):
- Sample Petition to Appoint Personal Representative - Get the probate process started
- Consent to Unsupervised Administration - Optionally submit consent from heirs in advance
- Sample Petition for Probate of Will - Get the will admitted to court
- Sample Heir Notice of Administration - Notify heirs of probate administration
- Sample Creditor Notice of Administration - Notify creditors of probate administration
- Sample Notice of Administration for Publication - Publish notice of probate administration
- Sample Estate Inventory - You may use to attach EstateExec's Inventory Report
- Final Accounting - Submit final estate financials to court
- Sample 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 IN Estate Forms
Small estates sometimes need only 1 specialized form or affidavit: see Small IN Estates.
