Many of us might shy away from dealing with the legal system, perhaps feeling unfamiliar and uncomfortable with courts and judges. But in fact, there is a court right here in Milford that is approachable and family-friendly. The Milford-Orange Probate Court, is exceptionally led by Judge Ben Gettinger, who has proven time and time again how perfectly suited he is for the job.

The position of Probate Judge requires fairness, consistency and even-handedness. These qualities flourish In Judge Gettinger who has the ?right stuff? to deal with the hard problems of trusts, estates, and wills.

You can ask anyone who has utilized the services of our Probate Court when dealing with often delicate and difficult family issues like guardianship, conservatorship, adoption and you will find that they are respectful of and grateful to Judge Gettinger. His compassion for each individual who appears in his court and in our community reverberate in all his interactions.
