• Attach supporting documents – You can attach supporting documents in PDF format (bank statements, visitation logs, etc.) when filing your annual report via GTS. The requirement to include supporting documents is at the discretion of the court. If you are unsure if you are required to include supporting documents, review the court order appointing you guardian or contact the clerk of the orphans' court office in the county in which the guardianship was filed.

If you are unable to upload your supporting documentation, you can still file the report electronically and deliver the supporting documents to the clerk of the orphans' court office in-person or by mail.

What Reports can be Filed Through GTS?

GTS can be used to file the Inventory and Annual Report of the Guardian of the Estate and/or Person. The Inventory is only required to be filed if you are the guardian of the estate. All other petitions or documentation must be filed in accordance with the county's clerk of the orphans' court office procedures.
