As a result of the recent changes in Hennepin County to the procedure to publish the probate notice, the Registrars will no longer allow you to mail the notices to the interested parties from their office (source: Registrar’s Office email). This had been a convenient option that enabled the attorney to quickly have the letters issued in a new probate since there was no delay in submitting an Affidavit of Mailing Notice.
The upshot of the new publication procedure is that it takes longer to open an informal probate in Hennepin than it used to take and it costs the estate more since the attorney arranges the publication.
