Montana Court Records

Montana Court Records

District Courts are districtwide courts that serve as the major trial courts for one to seven counties. They have jurisdiction over criminal cases, divorces, naturalizations, guardianships, debts, probates (since 1889), juvenile matters, and some appeals. Court sessions are held in each county where a Clerk of the District Court keeps the records.

Probate Courts had jurisdiction over probates, marriages, and minor civil and criminal matters. Probate Courts were disbanded in 1889, when their functions and records were transferred to the District Courts.

Supreme Court is the statewide appellate court.
