Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

  38. Order Upon review of the AFFIDAVIT OF DISTRIBUTEES, and the PETITION FOR PRESENTMENT OF INSTRUMENT FOR PROBATE, the Court finds that decedent died on March 29, 2023, while domiciled in Oregon County, Missouri; that a copy of the LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF DENNIS ARNOLD PIER was efiled on May 2, 2023, along with a FIRST CODICIL TO THE WILL OF DENNIS ARNOLD PIER; that said Will and Codicil are duly executed, witnessed and self proved, and said Will and Codicil will be admitted for probate upon filing of the original instruments. The Court finds that Petitioner asserts that all unpaid debts, claims or demands and all estate taxes due, if any, have been or will be paid; that there is an itemized description and valuation of the property of the decedent; that the names and addresses of the persons having possession of the property is included in said affidavit; that the names and addresses and relationship to the decedent of the persons entitled to receive the property according to Article II of the Codicil are included in the affidavit; and that the Will and Codicil of decedent establishes the right to receive the specific items of property described in the affidavit. The Court further finds that Petitioner is named as the personal representative and the sole distributee under the terms of the Codicil. The Court finds that the value of the entire estate, less liens, debt and encumbrances does not exceed $15,000.00. Because the value of personal property is relatively small, bond is waived. The Clerk is directed to issue her certificate upon filing of the original Will and Codicil. Harvey S. Allen
