§ 1117 No separate bond or oath

Public administrators in New York City's counties get a special exception under this rule. When someone dies and a public administrator needs to be appointed to handle the estate, they normally would have to file paperwork first. This includes a signed designation, a separate bond, and a sworn oath, all required before the court issues letters giving them authority to act.

This rule says public administrators in the five boroughs don't have to do that extra step. They can get their letters of appointment without filing that separate bond or oath first. This makes the process faster and simpler for public administrators working in New York City, since they handle a large number of estate cases and already operate under other rules that cover their duties and responsibilities.

In short, this rule cuts out a paperwork requirement that would otherwise slow down public administrators in New York City before they can start managing an estate.
