NOTICESKYPE IN REGISTER OF WILLS’ OFFICE
SKYPE is available in the Register of Wills’ Office for attorneys and their clients when opening an estate. Clients can be sworn in, and sign the Petition for Grant of Letters, as personal representatives of an estate while sitting in the attorney’s office. A client who lives out of state can be sworn in via SKYPE from their home or office while their attorney is in the Register’s Office. SKYPE saves time travelling to the Courthouse from home and the expense of travelling from out of state. Once the personal representative is sworn in, the paperwork can then be filed in the Register’s Office, either in person or by mail, and Letters issued.
SKYPE is offered by appointment and requires the submission of paperwork prior to the appointment and the availability of SKYPE on the user’s computer. For more information on how SKYPE can work for you, please call the Register of Wills’ Office at (570) 825-1672.
