Upload the completed primary PDF and printable supporting materials, enter the verified recipient, review every page, and select an available mailing option. [Mail my probate or estate packet](cta:/forms/probate-estate-correspondence-packets) Do not use this workflow to send an original will, certified death certificate, original bond, check, money order, wet-ink original, or any other physical item. A printed scan is not the same as an original or certified copy. ## What kind of probate mail is this for? The workflow is best suited to completed, printable correspondence and copies, such as: - A court filing that the probate clerk expressly accepts by mail and does not require physical enclosures. - A copy of a notice or other document sent to a beneficiary, heir, creditor, or attorney. - Correspondence to an executor, administrator, personal representative, or estate professional. - A response or supporting-document packet sent to an agency or financial institution when printed copies are accepted. - A separate recipient copy of a document already filed through an allowed method. Check whether a particular paper belongs in the public court file or should instead go privately to an attorney, fiduciary, beneficiary, or institution. ## Original and certified documents matter Probate frequently involves document types that cannot be replaced by an ordinary printed copy: | Item | Why the upload flow may not work | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Original will or codicil | A court may require the actual signed original, not a printed scan. | | Certified death certificate | A printout of a scan does not carry the issuing authority's certification. | | Original notarized paper | Some procedures require the original wet-ink or notarized document. | | Bond or physical evidence | It may have delivery and acceptance requirements beyond printed pages. | | Filing-fee payment | PostalForm cannot insert a check, money order, or other physical payment. | | Return envelope | PostalForm cannot add a self-addressed stamped envelope for a conformed copy. | Ask the clerk or receiving institution whether a printed copy is acceptable before uploading any of these documents. ## Separate recipients need separate packets A clerk, beneficiary, creditor, and financial institution may each need different pages and different privacy treatment. Prepare one mailpiece per recipient, with only the material that recipient should receive. Verify notice deadlines and the approved method for each recipient. Certified Mail may create useful USPS tracking and proof records, but it does not automatically satisfy a probate notice or service rule. ## FAQs - **Can PostalForm mail an original will?** No. PostalForm can print a scan, but it cannot send the physical original in your possession. - **Can I upload a death certificate?** You can print a copy only when a copy is accepted. A printed scan is not a certified copy. - **Does mailing a probate petition mean it was filed?** No. The clerk must accept and docket it under the applicable rules. - **Can PostalForm include the filing fee?** No. It cannot insert a check, money order, or other physical object. - **Can I notify every beneficiary in one envelope?** Use a separate correctly addressed packet for each recipient unless the applicable rules expressly allow something else. - **Does Certified Mail complete legal notice?** Not automatically. Verify the required recipient, method, timing, and proof procedure. - **Can PostalForm decide which probate forms I need?** No. Use the court's official instructions, self-help resources, or a qualified attorney. ## Resources - [USAGov: Find state, territory, county, and municipal courts](https://www.usa.gov/courts) - [PostalForm court-document mailing guide](/court/mail-court-documents-online) - [PostalForm forms and mailing workflows](/forms) - [Certified Mail online](/certified-mail-online) ## Related - [Mail divorce papers](/court/mail-divorce-papers) - [Mail bankruptcy documents](/court/mail-bankruptcy-documents) - [How to file a motion by mail](/court/file-motion-by-mail) - [Mail documents online](/mail-pdf-online) ## Ready to send it?
