I do not check the box requesting that the information sheet by filed with the court. I pay the filing fee for submitting the petition. Then after filing the Will, I pay the ex parte filing fee when submitting my other materials ex parte via the clerk.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cindy Loe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cynthia M.
