Benton County

Official roster status: Published current roster

Roster type: Combined Title 26 GAL and Title 11 court visitor/GAL registry. Source date: 2026-07-02. Last reviewed: August 12, 2026.

Benton County Superior Court publishes a combined GAL/Court Visitor Registry and a separate Title 26 GAL Registry. The registry page states that linked names open profile documents containing firm, address, phone, email, and background information, but those contact details are not displayed in the roster table itself; the listed profiles and registry links carry July 2026 timestamps, with the latest observed timestamp 2026-07-02.

What to do next: use the official roster

Benton County publishes an official roster. Work from the court's own page, then confirm availability before you rely on any name.

1. Open the official source below and read the roster as the court publishes it.
2. Call or email the Superior Court administrator to confirm the person is still on the registry and accepting appointments.
3. Ask the court how appointments are made in this county — a roster listing is not an appointment or a referral.
4. Report anything that has changed so the source record can be corrected.
