The name Orphans Court confuses many people including, in reality, some lawyers. The name reportedly comes from London Englands Court for Widows and Orphans back in the 1700s.
The Orphans Court has jurisdiction over estates, which often involve giving control over another persons property. The Orphans Court may receive filings in a decedents estate, an incapacitated persons estate or a minors estate. A decedents estate may have distribution or inheritance issues to settle.
Orphans court is a county court. It has additional duties now, but the courts earlier jurisdiction fell into three general categories: guardianship of minor children, the sale or division of real estate out of a decedents (deceased persons) estate, and the confirmation and auditing of estate accounts.
In simpler terms, the main job of the Orphans Court is to supervise the management of estates of people who have died with or without a Will while owning property in their sole name.
The Orphans Court owes its name, confusing to the 21st century mind, to the fact that the children of deceased male landowners were considered orphans when the father died. They were the persons for whom the orphans court legal system was developed, to protect their inheritance interests.
