§ 105 Rules for surrogates' courts

Each county's surrogate's court can set its own rules for how it handles business and cases. This gives local courts some freedom to run things in a way that works best for them.

However, this local power has limits. Any rule a county court creates cannot conflict with state law. It also has to follow the rules set by the administrative board and the appellate division, which are higher authorities that oversee how these courts operate.

For someone dealing with a surrogate's court case, this means the specific procedures might vary a bit depending on which county you're in. It's a good idea to check with the local court or an attorney about any special local rules that could affect your case, since not every county handles things exactly the same way.
