223.1. A party who intends to improbate a document must, before proceeding, issue a notice requiring the opposite party to declare whether or not that party intends to use the contested document.
If the opposite party does not respond within five days of receipt of the notice, or declares that the party does not intend to use the document, the document may not be produced at the hearing on the principal action or, if it is already filed, the document is removed from the record.
If the opposite party declares that the party intends to use the document, the motion in improbation must be disposed of by the court.
