Proposed rule change would affect e-filing of probate cases.

The Indiana Judicial Branch website has just posted a number of proposed rule amendments on this page. 

Among them is a change to TR 86 that clarifies how wills are to be handled when e-filing, including the question of how long they must be retained.

The proposed change generally matches the process already used by many local courts, and from our point of view looks just fine.

Among many changes to Administrative Rule 9 are a couple of "clean-up" changes to the Notice of Exclusion from Public Access removing references to green paper. We'll make sure to post links to the new versions of those documents on this blog when they are approved.

The Court is soliciting feedback on the amendments until October 1.
