Keeping up to date with ICCES

by Jody H. Hall, Paralegal 

The latest updates and enhancements to ICCES (Integrated Colorado Courts E-Filing System) were released on October 19, 2013.  The release bulletin, which can be found on the ICCES Home page, is attached here for your easy reference. 

We found a couple of items of specific interest to those of us that work in the probate and trust arena:

• The new event type of Amended Trust Registration Statement will allow us to file updated information on those trusts requiring to be registered under C.R.S. 15-16-101, including the termination of these trusts, without the system automatically charging a filing fee (as required by the originating event type Trust Registration Statement) or having to be manipulated by the Court. 
• The Court will also now have use of two new party types for Probate Cases: Professional Conservator and Professional Guardian. 

We recommend that you (and/or others in your office) read the entire bulletin and implement those practices that will help you stay up to date with the most current information on e-filing in Colorado – the Court Clerks, as well as other interested parties in your case, will appreciate you for it.
