§ 207.2 Terms of court

Each Surrogate's Court holds terms (formal court sessions) based on a schedule set by the Chief Administrator. This means the local court does not decide on its own when its terms take place. Instead, the Chief Administrator, who oversees court operations across the state, sets that schedule for each court.

For people with cases in Surrogate's Court, this rule mostly works behind the scenes. It does not change how your case is handled, but it explains who is responsible for setting up the court's calendar. If you need to know exact dates or session times, you would check with the specific Surrogate's Court handling your case rather than looking for a fixed schedule in the rule itself.
