Jurisdiction

Divisions
Address: 301 State St., 2nd floor, Charlevoix, MI 49720. Phone 231-547-7214, email probatecourt@charlevoixcounty.org. Judge Hon. Valerie K. Snyder. Handles probate and family division cases including adoptions and juvenile delinquency; page states juvenile probation is handled here while adult supervision routes through the 90th District Court or 33rd Circuit Court. NEEDS RECONCILING: like the District Court row above, this page does not mention a share with Emmet County and lists its own distinct judge (Snyder) -- worth a follow-up call to confirm whether '7th Probate District' is a single shared bench or two locally-staffed divisions under one shared number.
