Article XXIV, Section 9. [Transfer of probate causes to district courts.]
When the State is admitted into the Union, and the District Courts in the respective
districts are organized, the books, records, papers and proceedings of the probate court in each
county, and all causes and matters of administration pending therein, upon the expiration of the
term of office of the Probate Judge, on the second Monday in January, 1896, shall pass into the
jurisdiction and possession of the District Court, which shall proceed to final judgment or decree,
order or other determination in the several matters and causes, as the Territorial Probate Court
might have done, if this Constitution had not been adopted. And until the expiration of the term of
office of the Probate Judges, such Probate Judges shall perform the duties now imposed upon
them by the laws of the Territory. The District Courts shall have appellate and revisory
jurisdiction over the decisions of the Probate Courts as now provided by law, until such latter
courts expire by limitation.
