PROBATE FORMS

practicelaw Forms | Informal and Formal Probate Matters

Since May 2007, practicelaw's attorneys and staff have worked with a volunteer group of probate professionals to research, draft, edit and create a core set of 40 forms for use in most informal and formal probate matters.  As of January 9, 2008, these are available in Microsoft Word format for download and use. Special thanks and recognition are due to a number of MSBA members and probate professionals for the development of these forms.

Practitioners have a choice. Click on the practicelaw Forms link above or prepare them using the new MSBA::mndocs document assembly system.

The MSBA continually improves forms based on changes in the law and user comments. To see the latest improvements to a particular form, visit the Changes and Improvements page.

Court Forms | Minnesota Judicial Branch

The Minnesota judiciary maintains a limited number of probate forms on its web site.  Probate forms available from the state court site are generally intended for pro se parties.

practicelaw Forms | Guardianship and Conservatorship Matters

practicelaw also maintains a comprehensive set of guardianship and conservatorship forms in its Guardianship/Conservatorship area of the site.  Drafted and overseen by experienced attorneys, these forms are approved for use by the Minnesota Conference of Chief Judges.

The MSBA continually updates and adds content to practicelaw. To provide suggestions or comments, or to report issues with this area, contact Nancy Hupp, one of practicelaw's attorney editors.
