We investigate the Green functions G(x;x) of some second order differential operators on Rd+1 with singular coefficients depending only on one coordinate x0. We express the Green functions by means of the Brownian motion. Applying probabilistic methods we prove that when x=(0,x) and x=(0,x) (here x0=0) lie on the singular hyperplanes, then G(0,x;0,x) is more regular than the Green function of operators with regular coefficients.
