To open a new estate, please call our office at (410) 632-1529 before coming in. This ensures you have all the required documents to open a new estate. Staff are available by phone Monday thru Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Please call 410-632-1529 to discuss your situation in order to determine your needs. You may also contact us through email with your questions and concerns. Please provide a phone number in case we need to reach you. Online chat is also available.

Having an appointment reduces wait times and ensures that customers have the required documents before visiting the office.

A courthouse drop box is available to those customers submitting paperwork who do not wish to come into the office.
