(e) Petition
“Petition” means an application to the court for an order
and includes a motion permitted to be filed pursuant to Title 6
of these Rules.
REPORTER’S NOTE
The proposed amendment to Rule 6-105 conforms the definition
of “certified mail” in section (a) to the definition of
“certified mail” in Rule 1-202, Definitions. The change deletes
the requirement that the delivery of certified mail is restricted
to delivery to the addressee. This will save probate estates
money because the requirement that the mail must be delivered
only to the addressee is a more expensive mailing procedure. The
consultants to the Probate/Fiduciary Subcommittee have noted that
often the U.S. Post Office is not able to effectuate the directed
addressee procedure, so the modified procedure may result in more
deliveries of the certified mail. The Rules that refer to
“certified mail” include Rules 6-105, 6-125, 6-210, 6-302, 6-317,
6-412, 6-432, and 6-452.
Additionally, a definition of “petition” is proposed to be
added to the Rule. Many papers filed in the orphans’ court are
captioned either as a “motion” or as a “petition.” The addition
of the definition of the word “petition” makes clear that either
caption is acceptable.
