[WSBAPT] Filing in closed court matter

[Sam Furgason]

Listmates, 

Testamentary trust needs appointment of new trustee. The declaration of
completion was filed in 2002, closing the probate. Now that we have
electronic filing, what happens if I file an appointment of successor
trustee electronically? Will it be rejected? If not, shouldn’t I be able
to get certified copies? No PR or court order involved, just an
appointment of a successor trustee for a resigning trustee by the method
set forth in the trust. Basically, my question is, are things so automated
now that I could file and get certified copies to present to the various
banks and brokerages so they will accept the new trustee? The irony is
that neither acknowledgements nor court authorizations are legally
required, but institutions insist on something that looks official. What
do you think?
