Ex Parte Form
Use a Ex Parte template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the Ex Parte Form is
An Ex Parte Form is a court-related filing used to ask a judge to consider a request without the opposing party appearing at that moment. Because “ex parte” documents vary by court, state, case type, and local rules, there is no single nationwide form or universal deadline. The filer must use the court’s approved caption, factual statement, proposed order, proof of notice or justification for no notice, and signature requirements. signNow can prepare and route a court-specific PDF, but it does not replace filing with the clerk or confirm that electronic signatures are accepted.
How the Ex Parte Form workflow works
Complete the Ex Parte Form through a controlled upload, field review, signer assignment, and audit-trail workflow.
Upload form: Upload the Ex Parte Form PDF to signNow for preparation. Prepare fields: Review detected fields and add missing signature, date, and text fields. Assign signers: Assign each field to the correct attorney, client, or authorized signer. Complete record: Send the completed form and retain the signed PDF with its audit trail.

Ways to send and sign the Ex Parte Form

- Use the signNow mobile app when an authorized signer must review or sign the Ex Parte Form from an iOS or Android device.

Ex Parte Form troubleshooting questions
Resolve preparation, signature, filing, and record-retention questions before submitting an Ex Parte Form to a court.
signNow can place text, date, and signature fields on an uploaded Ex Parte Form PDF. Review every detected field against the court’s official template before sending, because field detection does not validate captions, exhibits, or local filing rules.
An electronic signature may satisfy ESIGN and applicable UETA rules when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. Court acceptance is separate: check the issuing court’s e-filing and signature rules before using a signed PDF.
Consumer-facing electronic records require disclosure of the right to paper, access to the electronic format, and procedures to withdraw consent under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Apply those requirements when the signer is a consumer.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month when billed annually and includes audit trails and templates. It does not establish that a court accepts the filing or provide legal review of the Ex Parte Form.
Use stronger signer authentication when the court, case type, or internal policy requires identity evidence. signNow plans support authentication options, while advanced signer authentication is listed for Enterprise and requirements remain court-specific.
Keep the completed PDF, certificate of completion, and audit trail together with filing confirmation. signNow supports audit trails, but the court’s retention, confidentiality, and access rules govern the official case record.
