Me. R. Prob. P. 4D

As amended through November 25, 2024
Rule 4D - Demand and Waiver of Notice
(a) Demand for Notice. Any interested person desiring notice of any filing, hearing, or order in a proceeding concerning a decedent's estate or in a protective proceeding may file a demand for notice with the register of any court at any time after the death of the decedent or at any time during the minority or disability of a person who may be the subject of a protective proceeding. The demand shall state the name of the decedent or minor or disabled person, the nature of the demandant's interest in the estate, and the address to which the notice shall be sent. The register shall mail a copy of the demand to any personal representative or conservator who has been or shall thereafter be appointed. Thereafter, any filing, notice of hearing, or order entered in that court concerning the estate of the decedent or minor or disabled person shall be served upon the demandant as provided in Rule 4(d) or 5 by the person making the filing or seeking the hearing or by the register of the court where the order is entered, as appropriate. The demandant shall pay to the register the statutory fee for all copies received from the register.
(b) Waiver of Notice. Any person, including a guardian ad litem, conservator, or other fiduciary, whether or not the person has previously filed a demand for notice, may at any time after the commencement of a proceeding waive all further notice of any filing, hearing, or order by filing with the register a written waiver signed by the person or the person's attorney; except that an alleged incapacitated person may waive notice in a proceeding for the appointment or removal of a guardian only as provided in section 5-109(b) of the Probate Code.
