[Land Court eCourts Business Analyst Joseph Walsh onscreen with a virtual background of state of Massachusetts and American flags.]
Joseph Walsh: So I'm gonna begin by sharing my screen. The first screen you're gonna see is the eFileMA website, which is where you can begin registering your account and where you'll go to e-file cases in the Land Court.
[Screenshare of Joseph navigating the the eFileMA homepage live with Joseph Walsh narrating from a small inset video.]
Joseph Walsh: So, as I mentioned, this is eFileMA. This is the website that you'll go to to first get started and you can click on this red "Get Started" button.
[Joseph clicks the red "Get Started" button in the middle of the screen. A new page loads.]
Joseph Walsh: And so you'll be brought to this screen, and in order to register a new user, you'll begin by clicking on the Register button in green. This will take the user to the next appropriate screen.
[Joseph navigates down the page and clicks on a green "Register" button under the heading "Actions." A new page loads that says "Register" at the top with various form fields to fill out below it.]
Joseph Walsh: The register page becomes available and all required fields must be completed in order to proceed. So I'll just quickly enter in that information.
[Joseph fills in fields for name, email address, password, security question, and security answer.]
Joseph Walsh: And then once complete, you'll click Next. I would recommend creating a security question that is easy to remember, um, and that you won't forget.
[Joseph clicks the blue "Next" button in the lower right corner of the screen. A new page loads called Registration Options with options to register as a Firm Account or Self-Represented Litigant.]
Joseph Walsh: So the user will then need to choose if they're registering as a Firm Account or a Self-Represented Litigant, not an attorney. If the user is an attorney and accidentally selects the self-represented account, you should receive a pop-up that will just confirm you are not an attorney.
[Joseph clicks Self-Represented Litigant and explanations appear under each option that show who each account is for, with the Firm Account listing "Attorneys" as an option.]
Joseph Walsh: And so, before registering for a firm account, please check to ensure that your firm's account has not already been created.
[Joseph clicks Register for a Firm Account and a pop up appears that says "Before you register for a Firm Account, please check with your firm to ensure an account has not already been created. If your firm has already been created, please ask your firm administrator to join the firm."]
Joseph Walsh: If the firm account has been created, the user must contact the firm administrator to request to be invited to join the firm. We will cover how to invite attorneys to a firm if you are the firm's administrator.
[Joseph scrolls down to the form fields that have appeared below after he checked "Register for a Firm Account."]
Joseph Walsh: So as you'll see here, I've checked off register for a firm account. So what you'll do now is you'll type in the firm information. So again, I'll just quickly fill in this information.
[Joseph fills in fields for name, address, and phone number.]
Joseph Walsh: And so you'll notice that a box is automatically checked to require that the firm's administrator approves the filer's new user registration.
[Joseph indicates a checked box that says "Require administrator approval of new user registration."]
Joseph Walsh: So you'll just want to click Next to continue.
[Joseph clicks a blue "Next" button in the lower right corner and a new page loads with terms and conditions.]
Joseph Walsh: And then from here, you'll just need to accept the terms and conditions.
[Joseph scrolls through the terms and conditions.]
Joseph Walsh: And then down here in the bottom right corner is where you would click 'I agree,' and create your account, at which point you will be registered.
[Joseph indicates a blue button in the bottom right corner that says "I Agree - Create My Account"]
Joseph Walsh: And so I'm not actually gonna click this because we do not want to create a firm in their production environment here. So I'm actually going to show you how you'll add the firm users, working off of our Land Court guide.
[Joseph stops sharing his screen and his full screen image reappears.]
Joseph Walsh: So once you have registered your account and you've moved on from this screen, you'll then be brought to
[Joseph re-shares his screen, which now shows the eFileMA Filer Dashboard.]
Joseph Walsh: This will be the screen you go to once you've registered your firm and your account. This is the filer dashboard, and as you can see here, it shows you your filing activity,
[Joseph indicates a menu on the left that says "My Filing Activity" with options for Pending, Accepted, Returned, Drafts, Served, and View All.]
Joseph Walsh: and this is where you'll also go to create new filings, which we'll get to in a bit.
[Joseph indicates a menu on the right that says "New Filing" with options for Start a New Case, Use a Template, and File into an Existing Case.]
Joseph Walsh: But what I wanted to show you on this screen is that this is where the firm administrator will have the ability to add users. If you are adding a firm user, you may specify the roles for that user, and you may specify those roles between firm administrator, filer, and attorney. If you add a firm attorney, you will not be able to designate them as a filer. To add firm users to a registered firm, you'll want to click on the Actions dropdown to open up the menu, and from there you'll select Firm Users.
[Joseph indicates a yellow "Actions" button in the top right of the page.]
Joseph Walsh: And so this is where I'm gonna refer to the guide to show you how you'll actually add users to your firm.
[Joseph stops sharing his screen. He then re-shares his screen to show a PDF with a screenshot of the same page, but this time with the Actions button dropdown open.]
Joseph Walsh: So as I mentioned, once you click that Actions drop down, you'll see that it lists firm admin, and then here you'll see firm users, firm attorneys, and firm information.
[Joseph indicates these four options in the dropdown.]
Joseph Walsh: And once you click on firm attorneys, it will show you all of the users that are currently registered with the firm.
[Joseph scrolls down to a screenshot of a list of firm users.]
Joseph Walsh: And if you're looking to invite someone new, what you'll do is you'll navigate to the bottom of this screen where the URL link is displayed next to Join My Firm.
[Joseph scrolls down and indicates the URL link.]
Joseph Walsh: And so that URL can be found at the bottom of this page once you clicked that Actions dropdown and selected firm attorneys. And so then from there, what you can do is you'll click on this blue envelope,
[Joseph indicates the blue envelope next to the URL.]
Joseph Walsh: as I mentioned, and from there, that will open a new window, and create a new message where the user can send off the hyperlink to emails in order for them to join the firm.
[Joseph scrolls down to a screenshot of an email message that will be populated with a message on how to join eFileMA that will be sent to new users when the blue envelope option is clicked.]
Joseph Walsh: The next step after registering the firm, in a requirement for Tyler e-filing, is that a payment account be set up prior to e-filing.
[Joseph scrolls down to a section that says "Adding a Payment Account".]
Joseph Walsh: And so to add a payment account to a registered firm, you'll once again want to click on that Actions dropdown, which can be found at that filer dashboard, in order to select payment accounts from that dropdown.
[Joseph scrolls to a screenshot of an eFileMA page that says Payment Accounts with an "Add Payment Account" option.]
Joseph Walsh: And so, as I mentioned, a payment account must be created in order to e-file a new case or file into an existing case. Only the firm administrator will have the ability to add payment accounts. So again, you would click that Actions dropdown. It provides you with an option to add payment account, and at which point you'll be brought to this screen right here, and you would select Add Payment Account.
[Joseph scrolls down to a screenshot of the Payment Account page where you would fill in an account name and account type.]
Joseph Walsh: So you'll enter in the payment account name that can easily be remembered. Then you'll select the payment account type. It gives you the options to select either credit card, eCheck, or Waiver. Once selected, click the Enter account information to proceed to fill out either the credit card or eCheck information.
[Joseph scrolls down to a screenshot called Enter Account Information with fields where you would add credit card and billing information.]
Joseph Walsh: So this is an example of the screen you would be brought to when setting up the payment account. And after completion, you'll just want to click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page, and the payment account is then added to the accounts list.
[Joseph stops screen sharing.]
Joseph Walsh: So once you have your payment account set up and your account has been registered with Tyler, the next step and next part of the training will be actually filing, e-filing a case.
[Joseph starts screen sharing the eFileMA Filer Dashboard homepage.]
Joseph Walsh: And so again, once you're logged in, you're brought to this filer dashboard. And so, in order to initiate a new case for filing, you'll want to click on Start a New Case, which is found in this filer dashboard.
[Joseph clicks the blue Start a New Case button and is brought to a page called Start a New Case, with multiple tabs to fill in, the first one being Case Information with fields for location, category, case type, lower court/agency, lower court/agency number, and short title.]
Joseph Walsh: The case information page will then become available and the filer must complete the following details for this new case form by using the provided dropdown lists. Please note that a red box indicates that these are required fields. So for location, you would wanna select Land Court from the dropdown, and it also gives you the ability to type and search for the location you're looking for.
[Joseph clicks the Location dropdown and types in and selects Land Court.]
Joseph Walsh: Category. The Land Court currently offers two case types that are available for e-filing. Those are our servicemembers cases and then of course our tax lien case type.
[Joseph clicks the Category dropdown to show the servicemembers and tax lien options and selects tax lien.]
Joseph Walsh: In the Case Type dropdown, you'll select the case type for this category.
[Joseph clicks the case type dropdown and options with costs are shown for between 1 and 5 tax lien tax parcels.]
Joseph Walsh: You'll have the ability to file up to five tax parcels. As you know, in order to file one tax parcel, the court fee is $515.00. Each additional parcel from there is an extra $150.00.
Joseph Walsh: These following three fields are optional, and you do not need to fill them out when filing with the Land Court.
[Joseph indicates the lower court/agency, lower court/agency number, and short title fields.]
Joseph Walsh: And then you'll just want to click on the blue Save Changes button to proceed.
[Joseph clicks the blue Save Changes button in the lower right corner. A pop up in the top right says "Success, Case Information saved successfully." Joseph scrolls to the next section, called Party Information, with sections for plaintiff and defendant.]
Joseph Walsh: And so the next section is the party information. This section displays only two party types, but multiple parties can be added by clicking Add Another Party.
[Joseph indicates a gray Add Another Party button to the right.]
Joseph Walsh: And so you'll want to go through and just fill out these required fields.
[Joseph indicates fields for plaintiff's information, including name and address.]
Joseph Walsh: The plaintiff's information, or the one who is filing the complaint, will always default as the first to be entered. Please note, if the filer is a business or agency, check off the box in order to enter the business's name. So you'll see here there's a checkbox if it is a business or agency.
[Joseph clicks a box in the top left that says, "Party is a Business/Agency" and a new field for Business Name appears.]
Joseph Walsh: And so we'll go ahead and check that and we'll use City of Boston as an example for today. And so you'll just want to go ahead and fill out that party information in these required fields.
[Joseph fills in sample information for business name, address, and phone number.]
Joseph Walsh: This is the Lead Attorney dropdown, where you'll be able to select who the lead attorney is making this filing.
[Joseph clicks the Lead Attorney dropdown to show a list of attorneys. He selects an attorney and clicks the blue Save Changes button in the bottom right.]
Joseph Walsh: And so once you click Save Changes on the plaintiff's information, this will bring up the defendant's information for you to enter.
[A new screen loads with the same fields to fill out, but this time for a defendant. Joseph fills in sample information in the fields.]
Joseph Walsh: And again, you would click Save Changes to save the defendant's party information.
[Joseph clicks the blue Save Changes button in the bottom right.]
Joseph Walsh: And so once again, if you did need to add more than one defendant, you would simply click on this gray button that says Add Another Party, and you would repeat the process of entering in the correct party information.
[Joseph indicates the gray Add Another Party button under where the plaintiff and defendant are listed.]
Joseph Walsh: After the information on the parties is entered, the filer will then move on to the filings.
[Joseph scrolls down to the Filings section.]
Joseph Walsh: Before completing the filing section, the filer must have their PDF document or documents ready to upload at this point. And so yes, this is the filing section, and so I'm gonna take you through some of these fields. Again, if there is a red box around these fields, that does mean it's required. And so you'll notice that under filings, the only two required fields are the Filing Code and then Filing on Behalf of field, which as you can see, is the parties in which you're filing on behalf of. And so for Filing Code, you'll select from the dropdown of different document types.
[Joseph clicks the Filing Code dropdown to reveal document type options.]
Joseph Walsh: If this case is accepted, the Tyler filing code will become a part of the court's docket entry. If the filer does not use the correct code with the corresponding document, the filing may be rejected. If the filer is unsure of which code to use from this dropdown, please contact the Land Court's Clerk's Office for assistance. The Filing Description, again, this is an optional field, and you may want to use this field to enter the purpose of the document being filed, but again, it is optional. Same with the fields related to Comments to the Court, as well as Courtesy Copies. The Courtesy Copies section allows you to enter in an email address or multiple email addresses, separated by commas, in order to send copies of the filing to interested parties. This feature does not constitute or substitute service.
Joseph Walsh: And so for the point of this demonstration today, and how you would want to go about initiating a tax lien case, you would want to select complaint, at case initiation for your filing code.
[Joseph clicks the Filing Code dropdown and selects the Complaint option. A Lead Document section then appears at the bottom of the page.]
Joseph Walsh: And then you'll see that that prompted this Lead Document section to appear, which is where you'll complete the upload of the PDF, and Filing on Behalf of, we'll go with the plaintiff as it is the complaint we're filing.
[Joseph clicks the dropdown for Filing on Behalf of and selects the sample plaintiff.]
Joseph Walsh: In order to upload a file, you'll just simply click on the gray bar.
[Joseph indicates a gray bar that says Computer with an upload icon underneath the Lead Document heading.]
Joseph Walsh: This will prompt the filer to browse their computer to select the appropriate file to upload. Upon uploading the document, the document name will appear with the size of the file. The maximum size is 25 megabytes. The description box will automatically populate the file name. This field may be edited, but there is a limitation of 60 characters.
[Joseph clicks the gray bar, which opens a file browsing window.]
Joseph Walsh: And so as you'll see when I click on the gray bar, it opens up my desktop so that I can select a PDF to upload.
[Joseph selects a PDF, and the file populates in eFileMA with a title, description, and a blank security field.]
Joseph Walsh: And so as I mentioned, you'll see that the description is listed and the document name appears as well.
[Joseph clicks the security fields and clicks the Public option from the dropdown.]
Joseph Walsh: It has a Security dropdown and you can simply just click Public, and at this point, you would click Save Changes.
[Joseph clicks the blue Save Changes in the lower right corner. A pop up box in the top right now says "Success, filing information saved successfully." The Filings section now has the complaint listed.]
Joseph Walsh: And so similar to when we looked at the party information, you do have the ability to file multiple envelopes at once.
[Joseph indicates the gray Add Another Filing button under the complaint.]
Joseph Walsh: So for example, we've already uploaded our complaint, and we've chosen our complaint docket code. If you wanted to submit a second filing, you would simply click on this, Add Another Filing,
[Joseph clicks Add Another Filing and fields for a second filing appear.]
Joseph Walsh: and it would just bring you up that same filing information page where you'd have the ability to select from a dropdown.
[Joseph opens the Filing Code dropdown and selects Attorney Appearance.]
Joseph Walsh: For example, if you wanted to attach an attorney appearance, in addition to the complaint, you would just simply add another filing, select the code, and then upload your PDF, as we just went over.
[Joseph selects a sample Filing on Behalf of Party and selects a sample document from his desktop and uploads it, then chooses the Save Changes button. The Attorney Appearance now appears under Filing Codes]
Joseph Walsh: And so before we move on, I just wanna mention that at the minimum, the following documents should be included with the initial filing envelope in order for a tax lien case to be accepted on Tyler. So you'll need your signed tax lien complaint. You'll upload that complaint as we just went over using the filing code for a complaint. It must include a copy of the relevant taking or collector's deed in any subsequent assignments. And we'd ask that you please ensure that these are uploaded as one single document under this complaint code. So you can make sure that all of those documents are in a single PDF and then upload it using this complaint code at case initiation.
[Joseph scrolls down the page to the Fees section, where all fee amounts are listed.]
Joseph Walsh: So the next section will be the fees associated to making your e-filing and submitting the envelope to the Land Court. Again, I would just note that a payment account must be set up prior to e-filing in the Land Court on Tyler. So the filer will pay the standard court fee required for initiating a new case with the Land Court, and the e-filing system will insert the appropriate amount. The filer also pays a one-time, e-file provider fee of $22.00 for each e-filed case envelope that initiates a new case, regardless of the number of documents included, as well as a payment service fee on that e-filed submission. And that service fee is 25 cents for e-checks or 2.89% for credit cards. These fees are charged at the time of the initial case filing, and when the envelope is accepted by the court. No fees are charged for e-filing an envelope into an existing case, which we'll go over after we complete this.
[Joseph scrolls down to where the fees are listed.]
Joseph Walsh: And so, again, you'll see here the court case fee for one single tax lien parcel is $515.00, and then you'll see the $22.00 e-filing fee.
[Joseph clicks the dropdown for Payment Account.]
Joseph Walsh: And so when I go down, and I'm gonna use an eCheck as an example,
[Joseph chooses the option eCheck One, and a 25 cent payment service fee is added to the fees list.]
Joseph Walsh: You'll see the added 25 cent Payment Service Fee was also applied. And then it also provides you with a dropdown for the party responsible for the fees.
[Joseph clicks the Party Responsible for Fees dropdown and chooses City of Boston.]
Joseph Walsh: And so once you've entered in your payment information, you can simply click Save Changes.
[Joseph clicks the blue Save Changes button. A pop up box says Success, fee updated successfully. He scrolls down to the Submission Agreements section.]
Joseph Walsh: And now the next section relates to the submission agreements. You'll wanna click, you'll want to check off the two submission agreement boxes and then click Summary at the bottom of the page.
[Joseph checks the boxes next to both submission agreements.]
Joseph Walsh: Please be advised of the first submission agreement as it relates to SJC Rule 1:24. The filer is responsible for redacting personal identifying information when filing documents with the court. The inclusion of personal identifying information without redaction may lead to a filing being rejected or cause delay while the court contacts the filer. So again, once you've checked off the submission agreements, you'll just want to go to summary.
[Joseph clicks the blue Summary button at the bottom, which loads a summary page that he begins to scroll down.]
Joseph Walsh: And this provides you with a summary of your full envelope, and all of the information that we just entered during that demonstration. And if you're happy after having reviewed it, you'll just click Submit, at which point the envelope will be submitted to the Land Court, at which point the Land Court staff will review the envelope and if it's accepted, it will be put into MassCourts.
[Joseph clicks the blue "Submit" button. An error message loads that says, "Error, could not perform payment processing because the account has been declined. Ensure there are sufficient funds available and that the account has not expired (Payment was declined).]
Joseph Walsh: Apparently my e-Check example that I've used is no longer working. So, sorry about that. But once you do click on submit there, it will just take you back to your filer dashboard.
[Joseph clicks the eFileMA logo in the top left and is brought back to the Filer Dashboard.
Joseph Walsh: And as I mentioned, the case will be assigned an envelope number for tracking purposes once it's been submitted. If the Recorder's Office accepts the envelope, a docket number will be assigned. If the envelope is rejected, the filer will not be charged. And so in order to review what has been filed, please go to the filer dashboard, and then underneath the option of My Filing Activity, you'll see Pending.
[Joseph clicks on Pending under My Filing Activity and is brought to a Filing History page.]
Joseph Walsh: And so here, any envelopes that you've submitted to the court that are still pending will show up.
[Joseph clicks the back arrow and goes back to the dashboard, then hovers over Accepted under My Filing Activity.]
Joseph Walsh: And then similarly, once they've been accepted, any envelopes that have been accepted by the court would appear in your Accepted filing activity.
[Joseph clicks Accepted and is brought to a Filing History page.]
Joseph Walsh: And you can see here these are examples of prior filings that I've made that were accepted on Land Court cases.
[Joseph clicks the eFileMA logo and goes back to the Filer Dashboard.]
Joseph Walsh: And so now that was the demonstration for initiating a new tax lien case in the Land Court. The next section of the training, we're gonna go over filing into existing Land Court cases. And so very similar to initiating the new case from the filer dashboard, you'll just simply want to click File into Existing Case
[Joseph clicks blue File into Existing Case button under New Filing and is brought to a File Into Existing Case page with form fields to fill in.]
Joseph Walsh: And then you'll just want to enter in the necessary information into these fields.
[Joseph opens the Location dropdown and selects Land Court.]
Joseph Walsh: So again, from this dropdown, you would select Land Court, and then it also gives you the number, I'm sorry, the option, to either search by the case number or party name.
[Joseph types in a case number in the Case Number search bar.]
Joseph Walsh: And once the filer has entered either the case number or party name, you'll simply click search, the blue button at the bottom here.
[Joseph clicks the blue search button and is brought to a search result with a case listed.]
Joseph Walsh: Once the filer finds the existing case using the search feature, you'll just wanna select from the Actions drop down. And so when you click on the Actions drop down, you'll see you're given the options to File Into Case, which is what you'll select.
[Joseph selects File Into Case from the Actions dropdown next to the case.]
Joseph Walsh: And now this is very similar to what we just went over in terms of initiating a new case.
[A new page loads with case information already populated.]
Joseph Walsh: However, you'll notice that because it's an existing case, you'll see that the Case Information, Party Information sections have already been populated. And so it will just bring you down to that one filing section so that you could submit your filing onto the existing case.
[Joseph scrolls down to the Filings section.]
Joseph Walsh: And so the filing codes do differ, whether or not you're filing a new case or filing into an existing case. So if you're filing a new case, there are only five options listed on the dropdown, that we saw when we had gone over that, which included the complaint, the attorney appearance, and a couple more there. When you're filing into an existing case, it is a longer list of filing codes. And so, based on what you're filing, you'll wanna navigate through this dropdown to select the correct filing code for what it is that you're uploading and filing with the court. And so for purposes of this demonstration, we're gonna select Motion to Amend Complaint, as there is a difference in this process compared to our paper process as it relates to filing motions to amend.
[Joseph selects Motion to Amend Complaint from the Filing Code dropdown.]
Joseph Walsh: So we're gonna cover that during this portion of the demonstration. And so again, you'll just wanna select the filing code that's relative to the document that you'll be uploading. And you'll select who you're filing on behalf of.
[Joseph selects a party under the Filing on Behalf of dropdown.]
Joseph Walsh: and then the gray bar where you upload the file.
[Joseph clicks the gray bar and adds a file from his computer. He chooses the Public option under Security]
Joseph Walsh: And you can just click on Save Changes.
[Joseph clicks the blue Save Changes button and is brought to Fees.]
Joseph Walsh: And so as I mentioned before, the only time that fees are applied to e-filing is when a new case is initiated. Because we're filing into an existing case, you'll notice that there are no fees associated to this envelope.
[Joseph chooses a Payment Account from the dropdown even though the fees are $0.00. He chooses a party responsible for the fees and clicks Save Changes.]
Joseph Walsh: Again, you would click Save Changes, and then this will bring you down to your Submission Agreements. Once again, you just check those off, select Summary
[Joseph accepts both submission agreements and clicks the blue summary button and is brought to the Summary page.]
Joseph Walsh: And then that final summary page where you can review and submit your envelope.
[Joseph scrolls to the bottom of the summary page to the fees.]
Joseph Walsh: And again, we're submitting, we're filing into an existing case. And so you'll see again, there is no fees associated with this. And you would click submit and the envelope would then get submitted to the court.
[Joseph clicks the blue submit button at the bottom of the page and is brought back to the Filer Dashboard, where there is a pop up that says "Confirmation, Envelope 16585 is submitting. Click here to view receipt."]
Joseph Walsh: And so here you'll see an example of once you've submitted an envelope correctly, you do receive this confirmation alert in the top right corner of the screen. And you'll also see here that this is the envelope number you were provided with. The email account that you have linked to your Tyler account will also notify you that an envelope has been submitted. And once the court does either accept or reject the filing, you'll also receive email notice letting you know if it's been accepted or rejected by the court. If the filing is accepted, you'll be provided with that docket number. And so I'm gonna just go back to that case.
[Joseph clicks the blue File Into Existing Case button and is brought to a File Into Existing Case screen.]
Joseph Walsh: As I mentioned, I wanted to describe the process in e-filing as it relates to motions to amend. So again, you'll see File into Existing Case, the Actions drop down, File Into Case.
[Joseph selects Land Court under the Locations dropdown and adds a Case Number then searches. Once he finds the case, he clicks the Actions dropdown and selects File Into Case. The Case Information loads and he scrolls down to Filings.]
Joseph Walsh: All right. And so, with regards to our Motion to Amend, you would want to select Motion to Amend Complaint for the filing code from the dropdown.
[Joseph selects Motion to Amend from the Filing Code dropdown and fills in Filing on Behalf of.]
Joseph Walsh: And then you would want to upload your motion to amend PDF. We're just using this as an example for now.
[Joseph selects the gray bar to upload and uploads a sample document from his computer. He chooses Public from the Security dropdown.]
Joseph Walsh: And so what you'll do is you'll click on Save Changes with that motion to amend.
[Joseph clicks the blue Save Changes button in the lower right corner of the page and is brought back to Filings where his code has been added.]
Joseph Walsh: Then as I mentioned, you do have the ability to add multiple filings within one envelope. And so with this Motion to Amend process, that is what you would do. So you would go and select Add Another Filing,
[Joseph clicks the gray Add Another Filing button and is brought to Filing fields.]
Joseph Walsh: And then from the filing code dropdown, you would select Amended Complaint, and then upload your amended complaint with the corrections that have been made to the party names.
[Joseph selects Amended Complaint from the Filing Code dropdown, selects someone to file on behalf of from the Filing on Behalf of dropdown and selects a sample file from his computer. He selects Public from the Security dropdown, then selects Save Changes and is brought back to Filing Codes, where both Motion to Amend Complaint and Amended Complaint are listed.]
Joseph Walsh: And so once you've entered in those fields and uploaded your documents, you would click Save Changes. And then as you can see right here, within one envelope, you would be submitting both your motion to amend the complaint and then also your amended complaint, which would then be accepted by the court, once submitted.
[Joseph navigates back to the Filer Dashboard.]
Joseph Walsh: And so that's sort of our overview in terms of registering your account on Tyler, setting up the payment account, initiating a new case, and also filing into an existing case.
[Joseph stops sharing his screen.]
Joseph Walsh: As I mentioned, all of this information that was shared in today's training is available in our Land Court e-filing guide, which can be found on our tax, on our Land Court e-filing web page on mass.gov. And at this time, unless there's anything I missed that Panoraia or Ellen would like to add, I think at this time we can open it up for any questions or comments anyone has. And I'll also stop the recording at this time.
