Notice in guardianship of incapacitated persons and conservatorship matters
Standing order 3-09
In all Guardianship of incapacitated person and Conservatorship matters, notice pursuant to G.L. c. 190B, § 1-401 (c) will be presumed insufficient unless:
Proof of mailing is provided for all notice given by first-class mail; and
Proof of publication is provided for all cases where there are interested persons whose address or identity is not known or cannot be ascertained with reasonable diligence.
This Standing Order does not preclude the Court from requiring additional proof of notice as the case requires.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
