Overview
The case status portal answers a single question: what does the registry show for this matter right now? It is not a substitute for legal advice, but it is the authoritative source for processing stage and posted requirements.
If you received letters or email from the registry, use the exact case or file number printed there. Typos or old numbers may return no match until corrected.
Who can look up a case?
Generally, anyone holding a valid case reference may view non-confidential status. Some fields may be masked until identity is verified. Executors and counsel should use registered accounts where available.
When updates appear
Registry staff publish milestones after review. Weekend and holiday volumes may delay posting. Urgent court deadlines should be communicated through official channels listed on your notice.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my number show “not found”? expand_more
Check for spaces, dashes, or transposed characters. New filings may take up to one business day to index. Contact the registry if the issue persists.
Is this the same as court e-filing? expand_more
No. This portal reflects registry processing. Local probate court systems may use different numbers; cross-reference any court case ID on your filings.
