Electronic Document Filing in Estates Court

Can there be a way for lawyers file documents electronically in Estates Court?

On August 5, 2020 the Ministry released a new platform to electronically submit documents to the Superior Court of Justice in civil court actions and applications. The new Civil Submissions Online system enables the electronic submission of 39 types of estates court documents, including documents for applications to pass accounts, applications or motions for directions, orders for assistance, claims against an estate, submission of rights to the court and estates mediation. The Ministry is diligently working on potential methods to enable the electronic filing of documents in applications for certificate of appointment of estate trustee.
