    Default Re: Do You Need a Court Order in Ma to Obtain Decedent's Medical Record

    If the custodian of those records says you do, then you do.

    Normally, letters of administration or letters testamentary are all you'd need from the probate court. While not necessarily a specific order to a specific party, they authorize you to act on behalf of the estate and should suffice with a custodian of medical records.

    If you are representing the estate and have not obtained letters of administration or letters testamentary from the probate court, you should do that or you will find that other persons and entities won't give you the time of day without them.

    You might get better help here if you explained what's happening to you and what gives rise to the question. Details count.
