Abstract: We obtain the existence of the weak Green's functions of parabolic equations with lower order coefficients in the so called parabolic Kato class which is being proposed as a natural generalization of the Kato class in the study of elliptic equations. As a consequence we are able to prove the existence of solutions of some initial boundary value problems. Moreover, based on a lower and an upper bound of the Green's function, we prove a Harnack inequality for the non-negative weak solutions.
