Me. R. Prob. P. 92.3
Advisory Committee Note - November 2011
Rule 92.3(a) requires electronic filing for parties and others permitted or required to file in proceedings in the Probate Court. All documents generated by the court and others will also be filed electronically or scanned by the court staff.
Subdivision (b) enumerates exceptions to the electronic filing requirement. These include filings made by a self-represented party, an emeritus attorney, and those excused by the court for exceptional circumstances. Nonelectronic filing is also permitted to protect confidentiality, when documents that cannot reasonably be scanned for physical reasons, dimensions, shape or condition, and for other good causes.
Subdivision (c) requires filing by non-electronic means for an original testamentary document, documents excepted by another rule of procedure, and by order of the court to prevent abuse of the system.
Advisory Note - January 2019
The term "Unrepresented Party" replaces the term "self-represented party" in Rule 92.2(b)(1).
The elimination of subparagraph (b)(5) from Rule 92.2 is intended to ensure that all attorneys are required to file electronically regardless of when the matter commenced or by whom.
