The Orphans’ Court of Philadelphia County has entered an administrative order directing that “legacy” incapacitated person cases with no docket activity for more than 10 years, and which lack information in the court’s case management system that is needed to determine if the case is active or inactive, be marked “Deferred” until the court can review the case to determine if it is active or inactive.

This order arose out of the need to provide the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts a list of all active incapacitated person cases for the new Guardianship Tracking System.

“Deferment of Legacy Incapacitated Cases; Administrative Order No. 01 of 2018,” (Philadelphia O.C. 11/29/2018), 48 Pa.B. 7634 (12/15/2018).
