A: I don't know because you provide no details. This does not sound like a probate issue though.

Balance of what? This sounds like it relates to something criminal - either a sentence or probation or maybe bail. Revoked means whatever happened before is gone and something else is in its place. For example, if a defendant was on probation and there were conditions and the defendant violated one or more of the conditions (standard conditions might be refrain from using alcohol or drugs or contacting a victim) then the court could revoke the probation and sentence the defendant to jail. The reference to state system might mean that the new sentence has to be served in the state jail system rather than at the county.

I am speculating as I have not seen the document. You need to take the document to a local lawyer and have them review it.
