UPDATE regarding important changes to the Probate Notice
On 7 June 2013, the Court announced that significant changes would be made to the Online Probate Notice. These changes will still occur, but legal practitioners and their support staff will be given more time to create Online Registry accounts, and prepare by familiarising themselves with the upcoming new features detailed below.
The Court will publish a further announcement soon containing details of the new implementation date. It will also shortly update the content of its Online Probate Notice webpage to reflect the upcoming changes, including instructions on how self-represented litigants can register quickly and easily once the changes occur.
Will the way in which I access the Probate Notice online form change?
The online form will still be available on the Online Registry website, but only visible once you log in to your account.
Once you have logged in, select "Probate Notices" from the horizontal menu (as you currently do) and click on the "Publish a probate notice" button. This will take you directly into the online form.
If you hit "Publish a probate notice" without logging in, instead of being taken directly to the online form, you will be directed to the Log in/Register page.
Will the form look different once I access it as a registered user?
Will it be quicker for me to complete the online form?
Because the online form can now draw from details you entered when setting up your account, there are fewer fields that you need to complete.
Firstly, you will no longer need to complete the "User contact details" section each time you publish a Probate Notice.
Also, there will now be fewer fields that you need to complete in the "Contact details" section of the form as illustrated in the screenprints below.
Finally, the new online form should transition quicker through the different sections than the current form, particularly if you are completing the form using Google Chrome.
How do I pay for and publish multiple Notices?
How can I use the Online Registry to track the progress of any subsequent application for probate, administration or reseal?
