The unsealing of records is difficult.Records are sealed by the state legislature and handed down to a judge. Those sealed records can only be opened by the courts.All states are different as to how information from court records may be obtained. Some states allow direct communication with the Judge, others do not. Some states require that on petitioning the court, you use only their state forms.To unseal court records requires that you petition the court to have the records unsealed, and you must provide evidence.There is a part of law that pertains to "Good Cause.""Good Cause" is a presentation of evidence as to why the records should be unsealed. The evidence presented is more compelling than the reasons for which the records were sealed.Additionally you must explain to the court what you want it to do. The court does not 2nd guess.Many courts do not recognize terminal disease as a reason to unseal the records. If the court finds that the evidence you have carries greater weight than the reasons the records were sealed, the judge will note "Good Cause," shown and rule on it.The Clerk of the Orphans court will tell you what procedure the court uses and how to get information from those court records. That inforrmation is free. They will not give legal advice.I wish you the nest.
