Before the Court are proposed amendments to the Florida Probate Rules. See Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.140(f). The proposals were approved by the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar and are intended to conform the Florida Probate Rules to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.425 (Minimization of the Filing of Sensitive Information). After considering the comment concerning the proposals filed with the Court, and the response of the Probate Rules Committee (Committee), we adopt the amendments as proposed by the Committee.1
In In re Implementation of Committee on Privacy & Court Records Recommendations, 78 So.3d 1045 (Fla.2011), the Court adopted new Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.425, along with various amendments to other rules, in order to minimize the amount of unnecessary sensitive personal information included in documents filed with the courts. The proposals we adopt here are in response to the Court’s request in that opinion that the various rules committees review their bodies of rules and forms and propose any amendments needed to ensure consistency with the minimization amendments. Id. at 1055 n. 31.
As proposed by the Committee, we amend rules 5.120 (Administrator Ad Li-tem and Guardian Ad Litem); 5.200 (Petition for Administration); 5.210 (Probate of Wills Without Administration); 5.385 (Determination of Beneficiaries and Shares); 5.405 (Proceedings to Determine Protected Homestead Real Property); 5.406 (Proceedings To Determine Exempt Property); 5.407 (Proceedings to Determine Family Allowance); 5.530 (Summary Administration); 5.550 (Petition to Determine Incapacity); 5.555 (Guardianships of Minors); 5.560 (Petition for Appointment of Guardian of an Incapacitated Person); 5.590 (Application for Appointment as Guardian; Disclosure Statement; Filing); 5.636 (Set*876tlement of Minors’ Claims); and 5.646 (Standby Guardians). Consistent with the requirements of rule 2.425, the amendments are intended to minimize the amount of sensitive personal information required in documents filed with the court in probate proceedings. The amendments include, among other things, requiring a minor’s initials and year of birth instead of a minor’s name and date of birth, and adding committee notes explaining rule 2.425 exceptions for use of a minor’s name and birth date. References to rule 2.425 also are added.
Accordingly, we amend the Florida Probate Rules as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is underscored, and deleted language is struck through. The committee notes are offered for explanation only and are not adopted as an official part of the rules. The amendments shall become effective immediately upon the release of this opinion.
It is so ordered.
