Disclaimer:  This
is a series of blogs related to the impact of COVID-19 on the court system; in particular,
the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court. 
This information may be outdated and it is important to look at the
court’s website.  Also, different courts
have different particularities.  I have
gotten this from both speaking to other lawyers’ and the staff at the Probate
and Family Court along with Zoom conferences and other articles along with
reading the standing orders.

There
are things such as Guardianships, Restraining Orders, Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”)
and others if you look at the standing orders of the Probate and Family court
you will be able to see that.
