Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The attorney
for any person desiring to file any paper in court is responsible for
the preparation of the paper. Except as provided in sub. (2), all
papers shall be legibly written on substantial paper and shall state
the title of the proceeding in which they are filed and the character of the paper. Either uniform forms or computer-generated
forms, if the forms exactly recreate the original forms in wording,
format and substance, shall be used. If papers are not so written
or if uniform forms or computer-generated forms that exactly
recreate the original forms in wording, format and substance are
not used, the court may refuse to receive and file them. The court
shall show on all papers the date of their filing.
(2) Trustees and cotrustees may submit to courts accounts in
the format that they normally use for accounts submitted to beneficiaries under this subsection, if all of the information required
by the court is included.
