Satellite Registry

It is with great excitement that we are announcing the launch of our Worcester Probate and Family Court Satellite Registry in Gardner. During my first four years as Register of Probate, I have heard many attorneys, social service agencies, and litigants express the need for Probate and Family Court services in Northern Worcester County. With difficulties accessing transportation, the lengthy commute, and busy lifestyles, many are struggling to utilize the Worcester courthouse. Since our goal is to provide access to justice for all, bringing our Registry services to Northern Worcester County will help us achieve just that.

We hope the success of this satellite Registry will allow us to expand our services, and we are open to hearing your additional needs for the Registry session. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or information, and we look forward to seeing you in Gardner.
