Attorney Access to Probate Cases

Attorney Access to Probate Cases

An attorney wanting to enter a case to file a pleading must call the Denver Probate office
(720-865-8310) or fax (720-865-8576) and the office staff will add them to the case [unless the case is suppressed] so they can file pleadings.
Information needed from an attorney is the attorney bar number and their client’s name address and phone number.
The attorney will then need to e-file their entry of appearance.

If the case is suppressed the attorney will need to wait until there is either a court order or, alternatively, they can send a stipulation signed by all parties in the case (or counsel).

Access to the pleadings in the case before their entry can be (1) purchased (in paper format only) from the clerk’s office, (2) obtained in either paper or electronic (e.g. download onto a disk) format from other attorneys in the case on whatever terms agreed upon, or (3) purchased in electronic format/access from LNFS.

Court-Appointed Attorneys

LNFS will provide access to the entire file to attorneys appointed by the Court (as counsel or in other fiduciary capacities). To secure this access the court-appointed attorney should call the Probate Court (720-865-8339) or fax (720-865-8576) and inform the front office of what case they were appointed to, the case number, and which party they are the GAL for.

If there are documents that existed in the case prior to their entry of appearance - the attorney should call Lexis customer service (888-529-7587) and they can show the attorney how to download those pleadings and also give credit.
