A Visit from Henry County Probate Court Judge, Kelly Powell and Associate Judge Katie Fagan
Thank
you to Probate Judge Kelley Powell and Associate Judge Katie Fagan for speaking
at this week’s meeting. Their presentation was very interesting and
educational.
Probate
Court is a constitutionally created office widely known for handling cases like
probate of wills, administration of estates of deceased persons, and
appointments of guardians or conservatorships of the person and property of
incapacitated adults. However, we learned some additional and more
surprising things probate courts also handle such as exhumations for relocation
and taxidermy disputes.
Judge
Powell described their service as those that cover “life, death and beyond” and
that certainly covers a wide range of topics / cases.
