Do court estate documents for filing have to be typewritten?
The certificate of appointment of estate trustee must be printed and typewritten. This ensures that there is no question about the content of a certificate of appointment of estate trustee that is issued by the Superior Court of Justice. Other court estate documents may be handwritten, so long as (1) they are legible, and (2) a printed copy of the form in accordance with the required format is used. All court documents whether printed, typewritten or written must meet the requirements of the Rules of Civil Procedure relating to the standards for format. This includes spacing, margins, print size and quality of paper.
