At Last Count, 40 New Probate Forms Coming
We seem to stay constantly busy at practicelaw developing new forms, which currently include new forms in the probate, practice management, civil litigation and family law areas. The first set of new forms to be released this Spring will likely be in probate, where at last count we had 40 new forms under development. This would effectively double the number of probate forms currently on practicelaw and will complete our long-term project to create a “core set” of probate forms that most attorneys will need. The new set of forms will include claims-related forms, forms for successor personal representatives, and a long-awaited set of forms related to petitions for decrees of descent. We anticipate releasing the new forms and including them in mndocs sometime in March.
practicelaw’s Nancy Hupp and Leslie Matton-Flynn are the key folks putting the forms together, as well as a small group of probate practitioners and MSBA members who have donated significant time to review, comment on, and provide substantive suggested changes to the forms.

Kudos and many thanks to all those who contribute their time and efforts to practicelaw.org, a wonderful attorney-to-attorney program which makes more uniform and accessible forms we all need no matter our particular practice areas, while not coincidentally “raising the bar” for practice standards.
