Sup. Ct. R. D.C. app B R. R. B-17
As amended through October 11, 2024
When a party who claims to have a right to share as an heir or legatee of a deceased person assigns all or part of such right in a probate proceeding, the assignee must promptly file the assignment in the probate proceeding. Any further proceedings to protect or enforce the assignment, or any claim based thereon, must be prosecuted or presented in the name of the assignee and not in the name of the assignor. The assignment must be verified. Unless approved by order of this court, counsel for the assignee must not appear for or represent the assignor.
