Law Library Massachusetts Supplemental Rules of the Probate and Family Court

Overview

These rules combine the present General Rules of the Probate Court with the present Supplemental Rules of the Probate Court. The name of the court is brought up to date, contradictions in the rules are eliminated, and more consistency with the Mass.R.Civ.P. and Mass.R.Dom.Rel.P. is achieved. Rules which relate to statutes long since repealed are eliminated. Rules required by G. L. c. 190B, the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code, are added. All General Rules of the Probate Court and Supplemental Rules of the Probate Court are now Supplemental Rules of the Probate and Family Court.
