An Act relative to the efficient management and operation of the registries of probate

HD 1758 restructures staffing for Massachusetts probate registries by establishing standardized roles across all 12 counties. It creates "first assistant registers" (one per county) and adds "assistant registers" with county-specific quotas (e.g., Essex gets three, Middlesex gets four). The bill eliminates the "administrative deputy assistant register" position but allows current holders to continue in their roles with existing compensation. It also introduces "assistant judicial case managers" with county-specific numbers (e.g., Bristol gets five). These changes directly affect county probate courts, their registers, and current employees in designated registry positions.
