Westchester County Probate Court Records

Westchester County probate records handle the legal processes surrounding a person’s estate after death or incapacity, ensuring assets are distributed properly and dependents are protected. These include wills, estate administrations for those without wills, and guardianships for minors or incapacitated adults. They are filed with the Surrogate’s Court and detail assets, debts, heirs, executors, and court approvals.

More recent filings, from about 2002 onward, are available online through Westchester Records Online, allowing searches by name or case number. Older or detailed files typically require an in-person visit or mail requests, with fees.

Certain probate matters are confidential or restricted by law, such as adoptions or some guardianships, accessible only to involved parties or with court permission.

For search visibility, Westchester County probate records, such as estate records and wills, and probate filings, provide insights for genealogy or legal research. Persons can contact the court at (914) 824-5656 for assistance; fees apply for copies and certifications.
