PTLA Forms Index
This is a listing of some of the most used Maine court forms, form letters, and other tools on PTLA.org. Most of these forms are linked directly from the Maine Judicial Branch website, where they are available in fillable PDF format. Some forms and form letters have 'Easy Form' versions. These 'Easy Forms' will guide you through the form by asking a series of questions, and filling in the form for you.
We do our best to make sure each form is the most up-to-date version in use by the courts, but if you find that a link to a form is broken, it is best to check with the court's website to make sure you are getting the most up-to-date version. If you find that one of our forms is out of date or the link to the court website is broken, please let us know through our feedback form.
