The Maine Probate Courts fall under the jurisdiction of the counties, not the state court system. There are 16 probate judges, each elected in partisan elections to four-year terms. Judges of the Maine Probate Courts serve part-time.[3][4]
In order to serve on these courts, a candidate must be a resident of Maine and an attorney licensed to practice in the state.[3][5]
