Rule 72
The Supreme Judicial Court is still reviewing this and other
pending rule changes. Upon approval by the SJC, Rule 72 of the
Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure will be repealed, and the
new Rule 72 (same number) will be placed in the Supplemental Rules
of the Probate and Family Court (which will become a consolidation
of the General Rules of the Probate Court and the Supplemental
Rules).
We will keep you informed as to when we can expect the SJC
to act on the new rules.
