Tasmania regulation
These Rules amend the Probate Rules 1936 to change how certain probate procedures are recorded and applied. They take effect 21 days after Gazette notification (r.2) and most amendments are incorporated into the authorised version of the Principal Rules (rr.5–20). The rules deliberately do not apply to probate work for estates of people who died before commencement: those matters remain governed by the former Principal Rules (r.4). Executors, practitioners and court registries must follow the new procedural text for eligible matters and apply the old text where the transitional carve‑out applies.
