EXPERIENCE COUNTS!
When it comes to protecting Lancaster County, we need
an experienced Probate Judge. Mary Rathel, our
Probate Judge, is already on the job with the
experience we need to serve the people, be a fair and
reasoned voice to resolve difficult matters and keep our
county safe!
The Probate Judge’s primary roles are to handle estates,
rule on commitment and mental competency matters
and issue marriage licenses. These are important and
sensitive issues that require experience. As our Probate
Judge, Mary Rathel has the experience we can trust.
Judge Rathel works for us!
After being appointed by Governor McMaster, Judge
Rathel has been working to make the Probate Court
more efficient and accountable to the people of
Lancaster County.
Her “customer service” approach delivers personal,
efficient and compassionate service to the people of
Lancaster County. She has worked to improve public
outreach to help keep the public better informed about
issues related to the Probate Court.
