The Superior Court has
exclusive jurisdiction over the probating of wills and the administration of
decedents’ estates. The settlement of estates of deceased persons and fiduciary
relations is governed by 15 V.I. Code Ann. § 1 through § 1267. The procedures
which all probate and other fiduciary matters must follow are outlined in
Superior Court Rule 190-210.
The Probate Division is an integral component of the Clerk’s Office. The
division maintains all pending case files and all wills that have been
deposited with the Clerk of the Court in accordance with 15 V.I. Code Ann. §
22.
