Dear Members of the Bar:
Greetings Northeast Indiana Probate Practitioners!
I
am
writing
to
advise
you
of
a
new
procedure
being
implemented in Allen County for all new Guardianship cases.
At the
urging
of
the
Indiana
Guardianship
Task
Force,
Indiana
has
developed a statewide Guardianship Registry.
The registry consists
of two main components.
The first component is for Court's and
Clerk
1
s staff use only and the second component is a public access
site.
The public access site will contain basic information about
Guardianship cases in Indiana.
More information regarding the Task
Force
recommendation
and
this
project
can
be
found
at:
overseers/
and
guardianship-registry-benefits-the-citizens-of-indiana/.
Allen County is one of several participating in the statewide
deployment of this registry.
Eventually, it is hoped that there
will be a statewide database which will be accessible to the public
for all Guardianships opened in the state.
Actual implementation
of the registry from the practitioner
1
s point of view will involve
very little change in your current practices.
In order to make
this process efficient for the Clerk and Court staff using this
registry, beginning January 4, 2016 all new Guardianship filings
will
be
required
to
include
the
attached
Guardian
Registry
Information Sheet.
This form will be used to facilitate the data
entry for the registry by the County Clerk
1
s office, and is not
considered a pleading.
