YOU MUST READ AND AGREE TO THE UNIFORM PRACTICES OF
PROBATE COURTS BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE.
PRACTICE XXXIII. STANDARDS FOR COMPUTER GENERATED FORMS
I. Use. The use of computer generated forms is hereby permitted, except where the
Court blank is a multi-part form, such as wage assignments, Chapter 209A family
abuse forms, cassette copy requests forms, etc. Registers may reject any forms
which fail to comply with these standards. In the event that a Register deems a
submitted form to be outside these standards, such determination will be reviewed
by the Administrative office at the request of Counsel.
II. Specifications.
A. Paper. Twenty pound, alkaline paper shall be used for all computer generated
forms. Alkaline paper is specified to ensure archival quality and permanence.
B. Printing. All computer generated forms shall be printed with “letter quality” or
“near letter quality” output. “Draft” quality output from a nine pin dot matrix
printer is not acceptable.
C. Paper Size. With any pin feeds removed the dimensions of the paper used to
print the computer generated forms shall be the same as those of the official form.
D. Paper and Ink Color. A computer generated form shall be printed on the same
color paper with the same color ink as the official form.
E. Pagination and Punching. The computer generated form shall be printed on
both sides of a single sheet of paper where the official form is so printed to insure
that the computer generated form has the same page arrangement as the official
form. The computer generated form shall duplicate any hole punching that is on
the official form.
F. Page Content. Each page of the computer generated form shall contain the same
information grouped in the same subsections listed in the same order with the same
numerical headings as each page of the official form.
G. Page Format. The computer generated form shall approximately match the
spacing, centering, indentation, margin width and print size of the official form so
that the computer generated form reproduces as closely as possible the appearance
of the official form.
H. Entries. On the computer generated form the entries of information by the
party submitting the form shall be highlighted by either underlining the information
entered or by printing it in boldface letters. The computer generated form shall
provide blank line for the entry of information by the court where such lines are

provided on the official form.
I. Identification of the Computer Generated Form. A computer generated form
shall bear the initials “c.g.f.” in its lower right hand corner to signify that it is a
computer generated form.
III. Consequences of Failing to Follow These Guidelines. The Probate and Family
Court Department reserves the right to reject any computer generated form which
does not meet the standards set forth above. It is the responsibility of the submitting
party to insure that the form adheres to the above standards. A computer
generated form which does not comply with the above standards may be rejected by
the register, subject to appeal to the Administrative Office. If the form is rejected
the submitting party shall forfeit the filing fee. The submitting party’s attorney
shall not be allowed to pass this cost on to his/her client, but shall bear the financial
burden personally. Accordingly, the submitting party’s attorney shall either
reimburse the client for the forfeited fee or the attorney shall personally pay the
filing fee when he/she re-files the form.
