Judge Bonnie J. Robison's administrative and standing order PR-2014-002 (filed Jan. 31, 2014) setting the procedure for every inventory, annual account or account for final settlement in guardianship and probate estates once TRCP 21c took effect: file the inventory or accounting in compliance with Rule 21c with sensitive data redacted (including in deposit verifications, safekeeping confirmations and tax affidavits); file it electronically; do not file supporting vouchers and backup documents (financial and brokerage statements, copies of checks) with the clerk; within 7 business days of filing deliver by mail or hand to the Probate Court Auditor/Attorney an unredacted copy of the filed accounting showing its filing date, all unredacted supporting documents (which counsel retrieves within 30 days after approval or the court destroys them), an unredacted copy of the inventory with a first annual account, and in a probate the names and birth dates of minor heirs; the court's website carries the auditor's checklist.
