Ex-Parte Litigive Reality

[ncjourneyman]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? residence-NC/Probate-Fla
As relating to motions/petitions filed before Florida Probate:
From: Estate of [mother] To: EX PARTE Probate Documents

Basic definition: "done by one party only; as in, an ex parte communication is where one party to a dispute communicates to a judge without the other parties’ presence".
Admonisment: "A lawyer should avoid ex parte communication on the substance of a pending case with a judge before whom the case is pending".

Question: what is the intended use of ex-parte in submitting documentation
"to-Ex Parte" before Probate and how might it effect litigation, discovery, and lawful compliance/protection of rights, etc. from an out-of-state devisee? When does a Will become "public Information", i.e., to one
not listed as a devisee in that will? - thanks for your time, NCjourneyman!

A will becomes public info when it is filed with the probate court.

As far as your other questions, you'd have to give us facts and details.

Thanks for the clarification of a Will becoming public information.

My 2nd response from an honorable judge seems to imply a
"cart before the horse" syndrome. I will re-state my inquiry
as:

In attempting to find specifics/details of the ex-parte filings,
I presently have none!.....General question: Does "Ex-parte"
filings before probate imit my accessibility/acquisition/knowledge of "business before this Probate Court". i.e., motions/petition filed by who knows?
in this case, even as a "devisee"?? No will filed, intestate default.
Is Ex-Parte elected by the testator or by administrator?
The only two filings submitted to Probate are listed in Probate database as:

From: To: Type:
(mother's name) EX-PARTE Probate 2pages
(mother's name) EST EX-PARTE Probate 11pages

These are on order. Still have question of why file EX-PARTE?

thanks for all information,

Go to the probate court, get copies of the orders and read them.
