Privacy Protections on Probate Cases

Rhode Island protects medical information and other confidential information redacted from probate documents.

Medical information located in evaluation reports is confidential. Confidential and personal identifying information must be redacted by the parties before filing. A party may also file a motion to seal documents if there is good cause to do so.
