The PC-1.4 form, originating from Rhode Island, is an essential document used in the probate process for individuals who have passed away leaving a will. This document, also known by its previous designation SW-72, serves as a petition for the probate of a deceased person's will, facilitating the official initiation of proceedings in the Probate Court of the respective county. The form requires the petitioner, typically a relative or executor named in the will, to provide detailed information about the deceased, such as their name, date of death, estimated value of the personal estate, and their last place of residence. Additionally, it necessitates specifying whether letters testamentary or letters of administration c. t. a. are to be issued, identifying the nominee(s) for these roles along with their relationship to the deceased. The form also obliges the petitioner to list surviving spouses and heirs, which is crucial for understanding the distribution of the estate should it have been subject to intestate laws. Furthermore, the document demands an affirmation of the petition's accuracy by the petitioner, followed by a notary's attestation. Ultimately, the PC-1.4 form concludes with a decree section for the court’s order, solidifying its significance in the legal process of honoring the final wishes of the deceased. This form underscores the procedural and legal complexities involved in probate matters, emphasizing the need for accuracy and completeness in its completion to ensure the smooth execution of the will.
