PROBATE RULES OF THE ADAMS CIRCUIT COURT

LR01-PR00-01

No estates, guardianships or other probate matters will be filed in this Court

unless there is at least one attorney admitted to practice law in the State of Indiana

listed as attorney of record. In the event there is an out of state attorney there must

be an Indiana lawyer listed as the attorney of record and the Court will look to the

Indiana attorney as the responsible attorney in all probate matters.

LR01-PR00-02

Upon the opening of every estate, the attorney of record shall comply with TR

87(E).

The Clerk shall issue copies in conformity with I.C. 29-1-1-12.

LR01-PR00-03

In all supervised estates, the Personal Representative shall file with the Court

within two months of his appointment, a verified Inventory prepared in conformity

with the requirements of I.C. 29-1-12-1. In the event that the attorney for the Personal

Representative is unable to file an inventory within two months, he will so apprise

the Court by a statement in writing the reasons for failure to comply with this Rule

and I.C. 29-1-12-1.

LR01-PR00-04

No petition for administration without Court supervision will be granted

unless the consent requirement of I.C. 29-1-7.5-2(a)(4) is met, along with all other

requirements of I.C. 29-1-7.5-2(a).

LR01-PR00-05

In all supervised estates, no petition to sell real property will be granted unless

a competent written appraisal setting forth the fair market value thereof is filed with

3

the Court at the time of filing the petition to sell, unless such appraisal was reflected

in the inventory.

LR01-PR00-06

If an estate cannot be closed, the attorney for the Personal Representative

must report the condition of the estate to the Court within one year after date of his

appointment, and thereafter, every year until the estate is fully administered.

LR01-PR00-07

The Court may, in its own discretion and on its own motion, send notices to

attorneys and/or Personal Representatives of the failure to meet any filing

requirement established by these rules or any Indiana Statute. The Court shall have

the power and authority to issue Show Cause Orders to any attorney or Personal

Representative to enforce the prompt compliance with any of these rules, any Indiana

Statutes or any Notices sent in furtherance thereof. The Court will not send notice

directly to any Personal Representative, however, before first giving notice to his

attorney and allowing sufficient time for said attorney to correct the problem and/or

respond to such notice.

LR01-PR00-08

The following is a fee guideline which the Court will utilize to determine

appropriate attorney fees and Personal Representative’s fees in supervised estates

and where there is no administration. The guideline is intended to cover usual and

ordinary services that are incurred in the administration of the probate proceeding

and is to be applied to all chargeables as shown on the final account. If an attorney or

Personal Representative is required to do extraordinary work, then additional fees

commensurate with the services rendered may be charged according to the

circumstances prevailing in each individual matter. Fee petitions requesting

extraordinary fees must set forth services rendered with specificity.

(Effective July 1, 2007; amended effective January 1, 2023)

PROBATE DECEDENT’S ESTATES

I. FULL ADMINISTRATION – ATTORNEY’S FEES

Where the attorney represents a Personal Representative in complete

administration, the following fee is suggested for all necessary consultations

preliminary to the appointment of the Personal Representative, the filing of

inventory, adjudication of inheritance tax and federal estate tax, final report and other

matters incident to the settlement of the ordinary estate.

FEE BASED ON GROSS VALUE OF PROBATE ASSETS:

6% on the first $100,000.00

4% of next $100,000.00

3 ½% of next $100,000.00

2% of next $250,000.00

1% over $550,000.00

Where the attorney’s work for the client includes non-probate assets, the

Court strongly recommends that the attorney obtain a written fee agreement at the

outset stating work expected to be performed and compensation to be paid, and

excepting unusual events, not to exceed 4%.

II. FULL ADMINISTRATION – PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE’S FEES

The Personal Representative’s fees shall be one-half the attorney’s fees set out

in Paragraph I above.

LR01-CR00-01 WORK RELEASE PROGRAM

Pursuant to I.C. 11-12-5-2, the Adams County Sheriff administers and operates

a Work Release Program for eligible criminal defendants who are awaiting trial or

who have been sentenced and for inmates adjudicated in contempt. Eligibility for

work release shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sheriff. The Sheriff

shall not be required to pre-screen eligibility for work release until a Court issues an

Order for said screening.

Work Release will not be authorized by a Court unless the applicant has been

screened and approved by the Sheriff prior to the hearing seeking work release

5

authorization. Screening may include, but not be limited to, completion of an

application, an interview, drug screen and payment of fees to the Sheriff.

An inmate shall not be released on work release if the Court disapproves of

work release.

ASSIGNMENT OF CRIMINAL

CASES, CHANGE OF VENUE AND RELATED MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

The following rules have been adopted by the Judges of Adams Circuit Court

and Adams Superior Court in compliance with Criminal Rules 2.2, 12 and 13.

LR01-CR2.2-01 CASE ASSIGNMENT

Felony or a Misdemeanor shall be assigned to Adams Superior Court.

(2) All Felonies except D Felonies: Unless otherwise provided in

these rules, all cases wherein the most serious charge is greater than a Class D

Felony shall be assigned to Adams Circuit Court. For example, if any felony

greater than a Class D Felony is filed it shall be assigned to Adams Circuit Court

along with any additional criminal charges regardless of whether or not those

additional criminal charges are Class A Misdemeanors or Class D Felonies.

(B) For crimes committed on or after July 1, 2014:

(1) All Misdemeanors and Level 6 Felonies: Unless otherwise

provided in these rules, all cases wherein the most serious charge is a Level 6

(C) Criminal Non-Support: All cases involving allegations of criminal non-support shall be assigned to the Court which had original jurisdiction of any

filing of a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, Dissolution Decree, Paternity

LR01-CR2.2-02 TRANSFER

(A) Circuit to Superior A Judge of Adams Circuit Court, by appropriate order

entered in the Record of Judgments and Orders, with the consent of the Judge of

LR01-CR2.2-03 REFILING AND SUBSEQUENT FILINGS

When the State of Indiana dismisses a case and chooses to refile that case, the

case shall be assigned to the Court from which the dismissal was taken unless LR01-

CR2.2-01 regarding case assignment dictates otherwise. For example, a case may

originally be filed as a Class D Felony Battery, later is dismissed, and subsequently is

filed as Murder, a Felony. LR01-CR2.2-01 in regard to case assignment shall take

precedence and it shall be filed in Circuit Court.

LR01-CR2.2-04 REASSIGNMENT

(A) Circuit Court In the event a change of Judge is granted where it becomes

necessary to assign another Judge in any felony or misdemeanor proceeding in Adams

Circuit Court, the case shall be reassigned to Adams Superior Court.

(B) Superior Court In the event a change of Judge is granted or it becomes

necessary to assign another Judge in any felony or misdemeanor proceeding in Adams

Superior Court, the case shall be reassigned to Adams Circuit Court.

(C) Alternative In the event that a reassignment cannot be accomplished

pursuant to the rules set forth above, then the case will be reassigned in consecutive

order on a rotating basis from a list of full-time judicial officers serving within

Administrative District 9 (Huntington, Wabash, Wells), contiguous counties (Allen

and Jay) or senior judges pursuant to CR 13.

LR01-CR2.2-05 LATE FEES

(Approved January 1, 2023)

LR01-FL00-01 FAMILIES IN TRANSITION PROGRAM

Minor children who are the subject matter of domestic relations cases,

paternity cases, Children in Need of services cases, and juvenile delinquency cases are

frequently caught in the middle of strife between separated parents.

The failure of the parents to deal with their differences without involving their

children causes unnecessary trauma for the children, unnecessary consumption of

the resources of this Court, and unnecessary demands upon the welfare and

probation resources of Adams County.

A program of education for separated parents can serve to alleviate the

problems described above.

(a) The parties to every Petition for Dissolution of Marriage or Petition for

Legal Separation which involves minor or unemancipated children and all parties to

Paternity proceedings shall attend and pay for the Families in Transition program

administered and presented by Family Centered Services, Inc., or such other

organization that the Court may from time to time designate. A certificate of

attendance for each party shall be filed with the Court by each party before a final

hearing may be held.

(b) Any exception to the above may only be granted by express order of the

Court after a showing of good cause for such exception.

9

(c) The Court may order parties to other cases to attend Families in Transition

and upon such occasions the parties shall comply with the above terms as well as any

order entered in their particular case.

(d) Costs associated with the Families in Transition Program are the

responsibility of the parties and shall be paid to Family Centered Services.

(e) The Court shall have full contempt powers to enforce compliance with its

orders for attendance including incarceration.

(Effective September 14, 1994; amended January 1, 2023)

LR01-AR00-01 COURTHOUSE SECURITY

(A) The Adams Circuit Court and the Adams Superior Court have a duty to

maintain the orderly administration of justice for the benefit of all persons who use

the Adams County Courthouse and the Adams Superior Court building and the

premises contiguous thereto, including, but not limited to, the general public, litigants

and persons employed within the Adams Courthouse and Adams Superior Court

building; and

(B) The possession of firearms and other deadly weapons (including but not

limited to knives with blades in excess of four inches in length) in the Adams County

Courthouse, and Adams Superior Court building by any person, excepting the

authorized security personnel of the Sheriff of Adams County and other law

enforcement personnel authorized by the Sheriff of Adams County, and authorized

court officers, is contrary to maintaining the orderly administration of justice; and

(C) The possession of firearms and other deadly weapons serves no

reasonable public interest in the orderly administration of justice and is contrary to

the recommendations of the Court Security Committee and the Court Security Survey

and Assessment conducted by the Department of Justice, U.S. Marshals Office, Ft.

Wayne Division, Ft. Wayne, IN dated June 1, 2000; and

(D) The unauthorized possession of firearms and deadly weapon impedes the

duty of the Sheriff of Adams County to provide for the safety and security of Adams

County property and persons lawfully upon said property; and

10

(E) The initial step in a long-range plan to provide for the safety and security

of the general public, litigants and persons employed within the Adams County

Courthouse, and Adams County Superior Court building, the Courts of Adams County

have determined that it is of paramount importance and now necessary to ban all

firearms, deadly weapons or any item deemed unfit for the courtroom by the court

security officer from the Adams County Courthouse and Adams Superior Court

Building.

(F) No person excepting the Sheriff of Adams County, his deputies and

authorized security personnel, other law enforcement personnel, and authorized

court officers, shall possess firearms, deadly weapons or any item deemed unfit for

the courtroom by the court security officer in the Adams County Courthouse and the

Adams Superior Court Building.

(G) The Sheriff of Adams County is authorized to conduct noninvasive

searches of persons entering the Adams County Courthouse and Adams County

Superior Court building and the premises contiguous thereto.

(H) The Sheriff is authorized to arrest and bring before the court all persons

failing or refusing to abide by this local court rule to answer and show cause why the

Court should not hold said person(s) in contempt.

(Effective December 29, 2000; amended January 1, 2023)

LR01-AR15-01 COURT REPORTER SERVICES

Pursuant to Administrative Rule 15, the Court adopts the following plan

governing all Court Reporter services:

Definitions: The Court adopts the definitions indicated in Administrative Rule 15,

which are set forth below:

(A) A Court Reporter is a person who is specifically designated by a court to

perform the official court reporting services for the court including preparing a

transcript of the record.

(B) Equipment means all physical items owned by the court or other

government entity and used by a court reporter in performing court reporting

services. Equipment shall include, but not be limited to, telephones, computer

11

hardware, software programs, disks, tapes and any other device used for recording

and storing, and transcribing electronic data.

(C) Work space means that portion of the court’s facilities dedicated to each

court reporter, including but not limited to actual space in the courtroom and any

designated office space.

(D) Page means the page unit of transcript which results when a recording is

transcribed in the form required by Indiana Rule of Appellate Procedure 7.2.

(E) Recording means the electronic, mechanical, stenographic or other

recording made as required by Indiana Rule of Trial Procedure 74.

(F) Regular hours worked means those hours which the court is regularly

scheduled to work during any given work week. Depending on the particular court,

these hours may vary from court to court and county to county, but remain the same

for each work week.

(G) Gap hours worked means whose hours worked that are in excess of the

regular hours worked but hours not in excess of forty (40) hours per work week.

(H) Overtime hours worked means those hours worked in excess of forty (40)

hours per work week.

(I) Work week means a seven (7) consecutive day week that consistently

begins and ends on the same days throughout the year, i.e. Sunday through Saturday,

Wednesday through Tuesday, Friday through Thursday.

(J) Court means the particular court for which the court reporter performs

services. Depending upon the county, Court may also mean a group of courts, i.e. “X

county Courts”.

(K) County indigent transcript means a transcript that is paid for from county

funds and is for the use on behalf of a litigant who has been declared indigent by a

court. The county indigent transcript will also include any requests from the Local

Prosecutor’s Office.

(L) State indigent transcript means a transcript that is paid for from state

funds and is for the use on behalf of a litigant who has been declared indigent by a

court.

12

(M) Private transcript means a transcript, including but not limited to a

deposition transcript, that is paid for by a private party.

LR01-AR15-02 Annual Salary:

Each Court Reporter shall be paid an annual salary for the time spent working

under the control, direction and direct supervision of the Court during any regular

work hours or overtime hours. Said salary shall be set by the Court each year and

incorporated in the county salary ordinance.

LR01-AR15-03 Indigent transcripts:

Considering the past experience of the Courts, it is anticipated that most

indigent transcripts will be required to be prepared at a time other than regular work

hours. For any such transcripts prepared by the Court Reporter at a time other than

regular work hours, said Court Reporter shall be paid a per page fee of $5.50 per page.

For these services, the Court Reporter shall submit a claim directly to the county for

any county indigent transcript and shall submit a claim to the state for any state

indigent transcripts. If any indigent transcript is prepared during regular work hours,

the Court Reporter shall be paid the regular salary and no per page fee shall be

submitted or allowed.

If Court Reporter is requested to prepare an expedited transcript, the

maximum per page fee shall be $8.50 per page where the transcript must be prepared

within 24 hours or less and $8.00 per page where the transcript must be prepared

within 7 days. A minimum fee of $50.00 will be charged for transcripts less than 10

pages in length. The time spent binding the transcript, exhibit and index volumes will

be at an hourly rate of what the employee earns at an hourly rate. The Court Reporter

may charge up to $1.00 per page for a copy of a transcript or an exhibit.

LR01-AR15-04 Private transcripts:

Considering the past experience of the Courts, it is anticipated that most

private transcripts will be required to be prepared at a time other than regular work

hours, just as is done with indigent transcripts mentioned above. Therefore, for any

such private transcripts prepared by the Court Reporter at a time other than regular

work hours, said Court Reporter shall be paid a per page fee of $5.50 per page. The

13

Courts do not anticipate that said private transcripts will be prepared during work

hours, but if this does occur, the Court Reporter shall be paid regular salary and the

per page fee of $5.50 shall be paid to the county.

If Court Reporter is requested to prepare an expedited transcript, the

maximum per page fee shall be $8.50 per page where the transcript must be prepared

within 24 hours or less and $8.00 per page where the transcript must be prepared

within 7 days. A minimum fee of $50.00 will be charged for transcripts less than 10

pages in length. The time spent binding the transcript, exhibit and index volumes will

be at an hourly rate of what the employee earns at an hourly rate. The Court may

charge up to $1.00 per page for a copy of a transcript or an exhibit.

LR01-AR15-05 Court Reporter reports:

Each Court Reporter shall submit a report, at least on an annual basis to the

Indiana Supreme Court Division of State Administration, on forms prescribed by the

Division, all transcript fees (either county indigent, state indigent or private) received

by the Court Reporter.

LR01-AR15-06 Gap and overtime hours:

The Court Reporters in the Adams County Courts work 40 hours per week and,

therefore, there is no “gap time”. Over-time hours shall be paid at one and one-half

(1½) times the equivalent of the hourly rate or as prescribed by county government

rules, ordinances, or by state statute. Over-time also may be compensated by

compensatory time and said compensatory time shall be utilized within 180 days of

the approval of said time. (The Court recognizes that the county might require use of

compensatory time in the week following its accrual, but such a requirement cannot

be utilized by the Court. For example, a week-long jury trial might require extensive

over-time, but the jury trial might also delay many hearings and trials to the following

week when the presence of the Court Reporter is absolutely necessary and, therefore,

compensatory time, to be effective, must be utilized at a later date). Any overtime that

is satisfied by compensatory time shall be one and a half times the hours worked

overtime, for example, four hours overtime would be compensated by six hours of

time off regular work hours.

14

LR01-AR15-07 Use of equipment:

The Courts recognize that relatively few transcripts are prepared by a Court

Reporter during the course of a year. The Courts also recognize that depositions for

private individuals other than Court related transcripts are not prepared by the Court

Reporters. Therefore, it is not feasible for the Court Reporters to purchase machines,

other equipment, paper, etc. for the preparation of transcripts, depositions and other

matters. These transcripts are prepared by the Court Reporter solely in the official

capacity as Court Reporter. Therefore, the “per page” charge which is set forth above

anticipates that the Court Reporter is entitled to utilize the equipment and materials

of the Court and that the compensation is, therefore, solely for the Court Reporter’s

labor.

(Approved January 23, 2009; amended effective January 1, 2023)

LR01-AR01-1 ADAMS COUNTY CASELOAD ALLOCATION PLAN

or reassigned if filed in the other court.

15

(F) CIVIL CASE TYPES PL, MF, CC, CT, DC, DN, RS, MH, MI

On or before May 1 of each year the Judge of the Adams Circuit Court and the

Judge of the Adams Superior Court shall meet to review the Weighted Caseload

the utilization variance is within 0.25 of one another, it shall be presumed that no

action is necessary to reduce the disparity. If the utilization variance between the
