What is a probate lodgement?
A lodgment is a means of submitting documents to the court temporarily. Generally, this practice is reserved for a large number of exhibits that have either been deemed too large for the court’s file or are needed on a limited basis. Another example of when documents should be lodged rather than filed is in the instance of original documents, such as bank statements, that are submitted in support of a one-time hearing, such as an Accounting.
