RECEIVED:
Instructions: 1) A petitioner in a probate matter may use this form to establish that he or she is indigent and unable to
pay probate fees and expenses for which the petitioner may be responsible. The petitioner must include
both the petitioner’s information and information for the petitioner’s household. A household is one or
more individuals who rely on themselves or one another for support.
2) A fiduciary or attorney may file this form on behalf of a person they represent. The fiduciary or attorney
should include only the petitioner’s household information and not the fiduciary or attorney’s
information.
3) Include with this form documentation substantiating the reported assets and income. For example, pay
stubs from employment and evidence of public assistance.
4) There is a rebuttable presumption that the petitioner is indigent if: (a) he or she receives public
assistance OR (b) the annual income of the petitioner’s household is 125% or less of the federal poverty
level after taxes, other mandatory payroll deductions and child care expenses.
5) Type or print in ink. Use an additional sheet, or PC-180, if more space is needed.
