REGISTERED FILERS
(a) Registration required. Any person who is permitted or required
under Rule 92.3 to file electronically must register by obtaining a user name and
password through the electronic filing system website in accordance with
92.4(b) or (c). Registration constitutes consent to electronic service of all
documents or information filed in accordance with these rules.
(b) Method of registration by attorneys and Unrepresented Parties.
An attorney in good standing in the State of Maine, any other person who is
permitted to file documents electronically, or an Unrepresented Party who elects
to do so, may register on the electronic filing system website by submitting all
information required by the Probate Court on the registration screens displayed
on the website, including: (1) his or her mailing address; (2) his or her Bar
number; (3) his or her billing information; and (4) up to three e-mail addresses,
one of which is an e-mail account currently maintained by the attorney. The
addresses provided shall be listed on the probate website and are the addresses
to which all service, notice, or other communication submitted must be sent.
Once an attorney has become a Registered Filer pursuant to this subdivision in
any matter, he or she shall remain a Registered Filer for all matters in the
Probate Court until he or she terminates his or her registration pursuant to Rule
92.4(h).
(c) Method of registration by out-of-state attorneys and other filers.
An attorney in good standing in another jurisdiction who is admitted pro hac vice
under applicable rules of procedure or administrative orders and any other
person who is required under Rule 92.3 to file documents electronically must
register on the electronic filing system website by submitting all information
required by the Probate Court on the registration screens displayed on the
website, including (1) his or her mailing address; (2) his or her billing
information; and (3) up to three e-mail addresses, one of which is an e-mail
account currently maintained by the applicant. The addresses provided shall be
listed on the Probate website in connection with the docket number assigned to
that matter, must be listed on all filings by that Registered Filer and are the
addresses to which all service, notice, or other communication submitted must
be sent. A Registered Filer under this subdivision (c) shall remain a Registered
Filer, as defined by the docket number (including all sub-matter numbers
thereunder) assigned to that matter.
(d) Duties of Registered Filer. A Registered Filer shall, in any matter in
which the filer has appeared in accordance with the applicable rules of
procedure and has submitted his or her user name and password:
(1) File documents electronically as provided in Rule 92.5 and access or
download any such documents remotely;
(2) Access or download documents, as provided in Rule 92.10, which have
been filed by any other party or the court.
(e) Use of agents. An attorney who is a Registered Filer may permit an
associated attorney or legal assistant to file documents under the Registered
Filer’s user name and password. The Registered Filer is responsible for all such
filings.
(f) Filings by court personnel. Judges and other authorized court
personnel or officers may file court-generated documents and access or
download documents that have been filed in any matter without becoming a
Registered Filer.
(g) Reports. A Guardian ad litem, visitor, psychologist, physician or
mediator who are required to file a report in a proceeding, may file court-generated forms and access or download forms that are required to be filed in
that matter without becoming a Registered Filer.
(h) Unregistering. A Registered Filer may “unregister” as a Registered
Filer by deactivating his or her account on the Electronic Filing System.
(i) Updating contact information. It is the responsibility of a Registered
Filer to maintain updated contact information (mailing addresses, e-mail
addresses, etc.) in the electronic filing system.
(j) Required unregistration. In the case of a Maine attorney who is
inactive, retired, disbarred or suspended, such attorney shall be required to
withdraw as a Registered Filer under Rule 92.4(h).
