What are Probate Notes?

probate-notes-filing-probate-notesProbate Notes are commonly written by a Probate Examiner at the filing court.  Prior to your upcoming hearing, the Probate Examiner will review your case to verify, in part, that all the required documents have been filed, and whether or not there are any discrepancies in your filings and/or any deficiencies.  You are required to correct any deficiencies should the Probate Notes indicate, prior to your court hearing or your case may be delayed and your hearing may be continued to allow you time to correct any deficiency(s) noted in the Probate Notes.

Recommendations

In addition, Probate Notes may provide recommendations to the judge or asks questions about maybe a particular authority you are asking for, and the Probate Examiner, essentially by setting forth a question to the judge, is alerting the judge to what may or may not be an issue.
