Operative status as recorded: LIVE_PAGE_CURRENT_AS_CRAWLED. Published during the 2026-07-24 completeness pass. SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 34 of 35 published requirements (97%) still present on 1 source page (/general-magistrates-hearing-officers/probate-judicial-practices-and-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence held at high because the overwhelming majority survived verbatim. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
