Appointment Registration for Harris County Probate Court 4

Thank you for taking the time to respond to this Registration form for Harris County Probate Court 4. It is the mission of this court to serve families in times of crisis when the crisis involves the loss or incapacity of a loved one or a mental health challenge. We know that acting as an ad litem, guardian, or administrator is an act of service and we appreciate your willingness to help this court in our mission. If you have never served as an appointee in Court 4, we will invite you to attend an hour long presentation on serving as an appointee once we receive your Registration Form, Resume, and Certification Form. These presentations will be offered in the courtroom on the first Monday of each month beginning at 10:00 a.m. and the presentation topics will alternate from month to month between Guardianship Appointments and Heirship Appointments. Once you have attended the appropriate presentation, you will be placed on either or both the Heirship or Guardianship Appointee List and such list is published on Court 4’s website. Effective immediately, due to lack of court space, we will not be having anymore Ad Litem orientations until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.
