The Office of the Register of Wills will maintain in the case file wills, codicils, bonds, sealed documents and documents requested to be placed under seal. All other documents filed in paper will be returned to the filer—starting on October 25, 2013—after the filing is docketed and imaged into the court’s case management system.

The filer must maintain the original document while the case is pending and until any appeals or appeal time periods are exhausted and must be prepared to show the original document to the parties or the court upon demand.
