§ 2109 Money paid into court and securities taken; how disposed of

When money or property gets paid into Surrogate's Court as part of a case, there are set rules for how that money gets handled and looked after. These rules come from the CPLR, which is the main law book covering court procedures in New York. Instead of creating separate rules just for Surrogate's Court, this rule says the same CPLR rules for handling deposited money apply here too.

In practical terms, this means if a court orders money or property to be paid into court (for example, as part of settling an estate), it gets managed the same way it would in any other New York court. This keeps things consistent so people don't have to learn different rules depending on which court is holding their money. The court follows standard procedures for things like where the money is kept, how interest works, and how it eventually gets paid out to the right person.
