Trusts

Trusts are generally complex legal documents, often with multi-generational implications. There are many different kinds of trusts, revocable and irrevocable.

Section 19-3B-203 Code of Alabama, 1975, states, “(b) A probate court granted statutory equitable jurisdiction has concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court in any proceeding involving a testamentary or inter vivos trust.”

Jefferson County Probate Court is one of the probate courts in Alabama that has statutory equitable jurisdiction.
