The Superior Court’s case management system requires a certain docket number sequence. In the Probate Division, the case number format is the four-digit year followed by a space, then the case type abbreviation followed by a space, and then a 6-digit docket number. For example, the first large decedents’ estate case filed in 2014 would be 2014 ADM 000001. A filing will be rejected automatically if the correct format is not used.The Probate Division case types and their abbreviations are as follows:
• ADM (Large Decedents’ Estates)
• SEB (Small Decedents’ Estates)
• FEP (Foreign Decedents’ Estates)
• INT (Intervention Proceedings)
• IDD (Interventions-Developmental Disability)
• FOI (Foreign Intervention Proceedings)
• CON (Former Law Conservatorships)
• GDN (Guardianship of Minors’ Estates)
• TRP (Trusts)
• NRT (Notice of Revocable Trusts)
• DIS (Disclaimers)
