Mass. R. Civ. P. 72
Reporter's Notes (2012): Rule 72 has been added to the Supplemental Rules of the Probate and Family Court and is intended to replace former Rule 72 of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure. Supplemental Rule 72 was drafted to be consistent with the provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code, G. L. c. 190B ("Code"). Supplemental Rule 72 shall be applicable to all actions in the Probate and Family Court seeking the allowance of an account, except actions filed pursuant to G. L. c. 215, § 6, which shall continue to be governed by Mass. R. Civ. P. For proceedings involving the allowance of an account of a common trust fund, Supplemental Rule 72 incorporates and makes applicable the procedures set forth in Code section 1-401. Rule 72 of the Supplemental Rules eliminates the prior references to specific Rules of Civil Procedure applicable in contested account proceedings, as those specific references are no longer necessary due to the adoption of the Supplemental Rules of the Probate and Family Court making the Rules of Civil Procedure more broadly applicable to probate proceedings.
