NOTICE:

Please be advised that there will be temporary changes in our delivery of services as we respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.  On March 14, 2020 a Declaration of Judicial Emergency was entered by Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 38-3-62 which suspends, tolls, extends, and otherwise grants relief from all deadlines.  This order extends until April 13, 2020 but may be modified or extended.

Many of our services continue to be available online and by mail.  Please check our website at henrycountyprobatecourt.com for the most current information.

We will continue to be available for emergency matters.  If you have an emergency matter or have any questions at all, please call us at 770-288-7600.  Emergency matters include, but are not limited to these essential functions:

»Petition for Emergency Guardianship of an Adult;

»Order to Apprehend (commonly referred to as 1013);

»Application for Marriage License;

»An urgent need for a Vital Record.

Georgia Probate Courts have temporarily suspended acceptance of applications for Weapons Carry Permits and for the renewal of WCP’s pursuant to the Declaration of Judicial Emergency. During the emergency period your permit will not expire but will remain valid until April 13, 2020.  In addition, you will be able to apply as a renewal after the lifting of the statewide emergency. 

We will continue to accept civil filings by mail and they can also be dropped off at the office. However, the processing will be delayed due to the emergency.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to explore ways to provide service utilizing technology so as to limit person to person contact so as to aid in the fight against further spread of this virus.

Kelley S. Powell, Judge

Henry County Probate Court
