How many of you usually (or always) use the decedent’s full name in the pleadings for a probate? I’ve always used the full name but a recent new probate decedent has multiple lengthy middle names. Decedent always used just one “middle initial.” Would that make a difference? The problem I can see is confusion with only using middle initials because the decedent’s first and last name are fairly common.
