IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Alert re Scammers Posing as Probate Court Representatives
A county resident alerted the Court that she had received a telephone call from a person who said he was from the Kent County Probate Court, that court representatives were going to be in her area the next day, and that they wanted to stop by to talk with her regarding preparing a Will. Please be advised that the Court never sends people out without a Court Order appointing them to do some sort of investigation regarding an ongoing case, and certainly never to talk to people about doing Wills. If you receive such a telephone call, please alert law enforcement and do not give the caller any personal information. Thank you.
