Three Probate and Family Court Registers' Offices Pilot Virtual Registries

• Trial Court Chief Justice Paula M. Carey and Probate and Family Court Chief Justice John D. Casey today announced that Barnstable, Essex, and Middlesex Probate and Family Court Registers' Offices are using Zoom videoconferencing to operate virtual registries to assist the public.
  
  The pilot program creates a virtual registry for Probate and Family Court matters using a recurring Zoom videoconference meeting link that operates during normal business hours when a host from a register's office is logged in. Virtual registries offer all of the assistance normally available during an in-person visit, including face-to-face contact, the ability to obtain and get assistance with court forms, and access to court documents and docket information. Click here to learn more about the Virtual Registries.
