probate courts hear cases related to the distribution of an individuals estate, or property, after death.
family courts hear cases related to familial relations such as divorce, marriage, and adoption.
small claims courts hear disagreements between individuals involving small amounts of money, usually $5,000 or less. a simplified process allows individuals and businesses to settle disputes without the expense of a full formal trial.

Explanation:

1. For Probate courts: Richard and Olivia's case is about their late mother's will and property distribution, which matches probate courts' role in estate distribution after death.
2. For Family courts: Mr. and Mrs. Williams' adoption case is a familial relation matter, fitting family courts' jurisdiction over adoption and similar issues.
3. For Small claims courts: Fatima's case involves a $2,000 debt, a small amount, so small claims court is appropriate.

Answer:

Probate courts: Richard and Olivia disagree over their late mother's will and the distribution of her property.
