- Form 74.31 Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee During Litigation
As noted above, Form 74C replaces all nine variations of the Certificate of Appointment that were in effect until January 1, 2022.
The main change to this form is that the applicants must select one of the types of Certificates from the list, check the box, and remove the others.
The rest of the changes to the Certificate are cosmetic, listing the deceased’s full address and formatting the applicants’ information in a more uniform format than the previous versions of the Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.
