		The Statutory Probate Courts of Texas are located in 10 out of the state's 15 largest metropolitan areas and have original and exclusive jurisdiction over their counties' probate matters, guardianship cases, and mental health commitments.
		The original probate jurisdiction of district courts is limited to those situations in which a contested probate matter is transferred from a constitutional county court and when the Legislature has granted the district court original control and jurisdiction over personal representatives.
		Thus, depending on the jurisdictional grant by the Legislature, probate matters might be heard in the county court, county court at law, statutory probate court, or district court of a particular county.

	Probate Court - Lake County, IL
		Once the petition is filed, the Court generally appoints a "guardian ad litern" to visit the person who is alleged to be disabled, to explain to that person the nature of the proceeding and his or her rights under the law, and to report back to the Court.
