Supreme Court Orphans’ Court Rules appear in bold face. Local Rules are printed in regular type.
Rule 1.1. Powers of Judges
Any Judge of an Orphans' Court Division, whether or not it consists
of more than one Judge, may hear and determine all matters jurisdiction
of which is exercised through the Orphans' Court Division.
Supreme Court Committee Comment:
This is the same as the first sentence of Section 731 of the Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code. The Judiciary Act Repealer Act repeals Section 731 effective June 27, 1980. This addition to the Supreme Court Rules is intended to clarify the situation as it will exist after June 27, 1980.
