Probate Court Rules Table of Contents
Any Party desiring to obtain admission of the signature on or
the genuineness of any relevant document or of any relevant facts which he or
she believes not to be in dispute, may file a request therefor with the
Register, accompanied by any original documents involved, and deliver a copy of
such request and documents to the adverse Pro Se Party or Attorney. Each of the
matters, of which an admission is requested, shall be deemed admitted, unless
within thirty (30) days after such delivery the adverse Party files with the
Register and delivers a copy thereof to the Pro Se Party or Attorney requesting
such admission, either a sworn denial thereof or a written objection on the
ground of privilege or that it is otherwise improper.
If objection is made to part of a request, the remainder
shall be answered within the time limit, and when good faith requires that a
Party qualify his or her answer or deny only part of a matter, he or she shall
specify so much of it as is true and qualify or deny the remainder.
Any Party who without good reason or in bad faith denies
under this rule any signature or fact which has been requested and which is
thereafter proved, or who without good reason or in bad faith requests such
admission under this rule and thereafter fails to prove it, may, on Motion of
the other Party, be ordered to pay the reasonable expenses, including counsel
fees, incurred by such other Party in proving the signature or fact or in
denying the request, as the case may be.
