The assembly clarified the manner in which estates should be settled. By law any person of full age and of sound mind could dispose of all of his property by will\, with the exception that sufficient first be withheld to pay any outstanding debts. The signatures of two competent witnesses in addition to the testator validated a completed will. The law provided that wills could be sealed and deposited with the clerk of the probate court where they would be preserved until the death of the testator. Otherwise\, any person having custody of a will could bring it into the court at the death of the testator. The law stated that if the court allowed and attested the will\, it should be carried into effect(Compiled Laws of Utah\, 1876\, Title 14\, chapter 1\, sections 1-6).  Volumes one and two are transcribed by hand while volumes four\, five\, and six are typed transcriptions. Regardless of the medium and complexity of the case\, each will follows a similar format. It states that the testator meets the requirement of being of sound mind and legal age. It names who the testator desires to be the executor of his estate. It enumerates the testator's property and designates whom he wishes to inherit each item. Volume three contains preprinted forms created by the court. These were available by 1903 though Washington County used them for only a dozen cases and most of these cases are also available as handwritten transcriptions of the will in volume two.

Included are all cases which cannot legally be called ""criminal cases."" Records and documents pertaining to a particular action are filed together by the court clerk\, who is required by the Rules of Civil Procedure to file pleadings and other legal papers. Collectively they constitute the case file.  A civil action commences with the filing of a complaint with the court or by service to the defendant of a summons together with a copy of the complaint. A unique case number is assigned by the court when the papers are filed with the clerk. The case file for a particular action includes the original complaint or summons together with all legal papers subsequently filed in connection with thecourt proceeding through disposition or dismissal. Included are such documents as: depositions (or written testimony)\, demurrers (which are pleas for the dismissal of a lawsuit on the grounds that even if the statements of the opposition are true\, they do not sustain the claim)\, interrogatories (a pretrial discovery tool in which written questions are propounded by one party and served to the adversary\, who must answer by written replies made under oath)\, answers\, counter claims\, replies\, motions\, petitions\, affidavits (written statements made under oath before an officer of the court\, notary public\, or other authorized person)\, stipulations (an agreement between attorneys that concerns business before a court and is designed to simplify\, shorten\, or settle litigation and save costs)\, exhibit documents (written contracts\, bills\, receipts\, etc.)\, notices\, objections\, citations\, sheriff's certificates\, judge's orders and rulings\, judge's instructions to the jury\, judge's findings offact and conclusions of law\, final decrees\, judgments\, and executions (the process of carrying into effect a court's judgment\, decree\, or order).  Demurrers\, pleas\, and exceptions for insufficiency were abolished in 1953. Transcripts (an official and certified copy of what transpired in court or at an out-of-court deposition) and exhibits (items of real evidence) are not included in the case files.  Petitions for divorce are the predominant type of action in the civil case files. Suits to recover money are also common. These actions arise out of failure to honor promissory notes or other contract terms and non- payment of rent\, lease payments\, and court-ordered judgments. Attempts by plaintiffs to recover medical costs and lost income arising out of personal injury cases resulting from alleged carelessness or neglect appear frequently. These include traffic mishaps or accidents involving neighbors\, employees\, or business customers. Property cases include disputed ownership\, damage\,and contested improvements.  Legal actions include voluntary withdrawal or dissolution of corporations as well as petitions for a writ of habeas corpus (a court order requiring that a prisoner be brought before a judge to decide the legality of his detention or imprisonment). Court business (grand jury lists and reports\, orders summoning persons to serve as jurors\, various writs\, etc.) have also been assigned civil case numbers.  According to statute\, the district court has jurisdiction in all civil matters not excepted by the state constitution and not prohibited by law. During each calendar year the court is required to hold at least three terms at the county seat of each county within the district. The county clerk in each county serves as ex- officio clerk to the court and is responsible for maintaining the case files for actions arising in that county.  Responsibility for cases involving minimal monetary claims was reassigned to the newly created small claims departments ofinferior courts in 1933. When inferior courts have original jurisdiction\, the district court is limited to hearing appeals. Included are violations of city and town ordinances\, as well as minor traffic laws\, where a City Court or Justice of the Peace Court is established.

Included are all cases which cannot legally be called ""criminal cases."" Records and documents pertaining to a particular action are filed together by the court clerk\, who is required by the Rules of Civil Procedure to file pleadings and other legal papers. Collectively they constitute the case file.  A civil action commences with the filing of a complaint with the court or by service to the defendant of a summons together with a copy of the complaint. A unique case number is assigned by the court when the papers are filed with the clerk. The case file for a particular action includes the original complaint or summons together with all legal papers subsequently filed in connection with the court proceeding through disposition or dismissal. Included are such documents as: depositions (or written testimony)\, demurrers (which are pleas for the dismissal of a lawsuit on the grounds that even if the statements of the opposition are true\, they do not sustain the claim)\, interrogatories (a pretrial discovery tool in which written questions are propounded by one party and served to the adversary\, who must answer by written replies made under oath)\, answers\, counter claims\, replies\, motions\, petitions\, affidavits (written statements made under oath before an officer of the court\, notary public\, or other authorized person)\, stipulations (an agreement between attorneys that concerns business before a court and is designed to simplify\, shorten\, or settle litigation and save costs)\, exhibit documents (written contracts\, bills\, receipts\, etc.)\, notices\, objections\, citations\, sheriff's certificates\, judge's orders and rulings\, judge's instructions to the jury\, judge's findings of fact and conclusions of law\, final decrees\, judgments\, and executions (the process of carrying into effect a court's judgment\, decree\, or order).  Demurrers\, pleas\, and exceptions for insufficiency were abolished in 1953. Transcripts (an official and certified copy of what transpired in court or at an out-of-court deposition) and exhibits (items of real evidence) are not included in the case files.  Petitions for divorce are the predominant type of action in the civil case files. Suits to recover money are also common. These actions arise out of failure to honor promissory notes or other contract terms and non- payment of rent\, lease payments\, and court-ordered judgments. Attempts by plaintiffs to recover medical costs and lost income arising out of personal injury cases resulting from alleged carelessness or neglect appear frequently. These include traffic mishaps or accidents involving neighbors\, employees\, or business customers. Property cases include disputed ownership\, damage\, and contested improvements.  Legal actions include voluntary withdrawal or dissolution of corporations as well as petitions for a writ of habeas corpus (a court order requiring that a prisoner be brought before a judge to decide the legality of his detention or imprisonment). Court business (grand jury lists and reports\, orders summoning persons to serve as jurors\, various writs\, etc.) have also been assigned civil case numbers.  According to statute\, the district court has jurisdiction in all civil matters not excepted by the state constitution and not prohibited by law. During each calendar year the court is required to hold at least three terms at the county seat of each county within the district. The county clerk in each county serves as ex- officio clerk to the court and is responsible for maintaining the case files for actions arising in that county.  Responsibility for cases involving minimal monetary claims was reassigned to the newly created small claims departments of inferior courts in 1933. When inferior courts have original jurisdiction\, the district court is limited to hearing appeals. Included are violations of city and town ordinances\, as well as minor traffic laws\, where a City Court or Justice of the Peace Court is established. Upon receipt of an appeal\, the district court conducts a complete retrial of the case.",Permanent. Retain until administrative need ends,Public,1.75 cubic feet

Included are all cases which cannot legally be called ""criminal cases"". Records and documents pertaining to a particular action are filed together by the court clerk\, who is required by the Rules of Civil Procedure to file pleadings and other legal papers. Collectively they constitute the case file.  A civil action commences with the filing of a complaint with the court or by service to the defendant of a summons together with a copy of the complaint. A unique case number is assigned by the court when the papers are filed with the clerk. The case file for a particular action includes the original complaint or summons together with all legal papers subsequently filed in connection with thecourt proceeding through disposition or dismissal. Included are such documents as: depositions (or written testimony)\, demurrers (which are pleas for the dismissal of a lawsuit on the grounds that even if the statements of the opposition are true\, they do not sustain the claim)\, interrogatories (a pretrial discovery tool in which written questions are propounded by one party and served to the adversary\, who must answer by written replies made under oath)\, answers\, counter claims\, replies\, motions\, petitions\, affidavits (written statements made under oath before an officer of the court\, notary public\, or other authorized person)\, stipulations (an agreement between attorneys that concerns business before a court and is designed to simplify\, shorten\, or settle litigation and save costs)\, exhibit documents (written contracts\, bills\, receipts\, etc.)\, notices\, objections\, citations\, sheriff's certificates\, judge's orders and rulings\, judge's instructions to the jury\, judge's findings offact and conclusions of law\, final decrees\, judgments\, and executions (the process of carrying into effect a court's judgment\, decree\, or order).  Demurrers\, pleas\, and exceptions for insufficiency were abolished in 1953. Transcripts (an official and certified copy of what transpired in court or at an out-of-court deposition) and exhibits (items of real evidence) are not included in the case files.  Petitions for divorce are the predominant type of action in the civil case files. Suits to recover money are also common. These actions arise out of failure to honor promissory notes or other contract terms and non- payment of rent\, lease payments\, and court-ordered judgments. Attempts by plaintiffs to recover medical costs and lost income arising out of personal injury cases resulting from alleged carelessness or neglect appear frequently. These include traffic mishaps or accidents involving neighbors\, employees\, or business customers. Property cases include disputed ownership\, damage\,and contested improvements.  Legal actions include voluntary withdrawal or dissolution of corporations as well as petitions for a writ of habeas corpus (a court order requiring that a prisoner be brought before a judge to decide the legality of his detention or imprisonment). Court business (grand jury lists and reports\, orders summoning persons to serve as jurors\, various writs\, etc.) have also been assigned civil case numbers.  According to statute\, the district court has jurisdiction in all civil matters not excepted by the state constitution and not prohibited by law. During each calendar year the court is required to hold at least three terms at the county seat of each county within the district. The county clerk in each county serves as ex- officio clerk to the court and is responsible for maintaining the case files for actions arising in that county.  Responsibility for cases involving minimal monetary claims was reassigned to the newly created small claims departments ofinferior courts in 1933. When inferior courts have original jurisdiction\, the district court is limited to hearing appeals. Included are violations of city and town ordinances\, as well as minor traffic laws\, where a City Court or Justice of the Peace Court is established.
