Regular visitors to the Middlesex Probate & Family Court’s website were shocked to see the following announcement: Middlesex County Probate and Family Court website is no longer available due to lack of funds. If you wish to donate to continue this site or you wish to purchase this site, you can email us by clicking on the following link.
The Middlesex site is registered to Diane Bender, who used to work at the Plymouth Probate & Family Court. While there, she set up a site for the registry and ended up designing similar sites for courts in several other counties.
Each register pays for the site out of his own budget. When Middlesex Register of Probate John R. Buonomo resigned in the midst of an alleged theft scandal, he had already paid Bender through December. But she’s been unable to reach Buonomo’s recently sworn-in successor, Tara DeCristofaro, so she took the site down.
Bender says that if anyone – be it DeCristofaro, a bar association or individual attorneys – wants the site restored, she can have it back online within five minutes, as long as her $125 a month bill is paid.

Lack of funds, my foot.
ReplyDeleteWow! Too bad there are not enough interested people in the area to force the issue.
ReplyDeleteI have always worried that the county we are dealing with will eliminate online docket access.
Outrageous! Sure, blame financial problems and most people will buy this excuse.
ReplyDeleteThey don't want the public to have this information and this is a way to cover that up.
