ABOUT THE ORPHANS' COURT
The Orphans' Court for Howard County comprises three judges who are elected every four years in accordance with the State Constitution. Howard County will elect judges to all three seats on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
Maryland’s Constitution requires that Orphans’ Court judges be Maryland citizens and residents of their jurisdiction for one year before election day. Some jurisdictions (Baltimore City, Harford, Montgomery, Baltimore, and Prince George’s counties) require that their judges be attorneys. Howard County has not implemented this requirement.
The Orphans' Court has jurisdiction over the judicial administration of estates to include legal disputes over wills and the distribution of assets after death.
