This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
This rule has been repealed, which means it's no longer in effect and has no legal force. Any requirements or procedures it once described no longer apply.
If you're looking into an older case or document that references this rule, you'll need to check current court rules for whatever process or requirement replaced it, if anything. Courts sometimes repeal rules because the topic is now covered elsewhere, or because the rule is simply no longer needed.
If you have questions about how this affects a specific case, it's best to check with the Surrogate's Court clerk in your county or speak with an attorney, since they can tell you what rules currently apply to your situation.
