A quick definition of surrogate court:

A surrogate court is a special court that helps people with things like wills, guardianship, and managing someone's things after they die. If someone dies without a will, the surrogate court helps figure out what to do with their things. The person in charge of the court is called a surrogate and is elected by the people in the county where the court is located.

A more thorough explanation:

Surrogate court is a type of court that deals with matters related to the administration of wills, guardianship, and assets. It also handles cases where a person has died without leaving a will. The person in charge of the court is called a surrogate, and they are elected by the people of the local county.

  • If someone dies and leaves a will, the surrogate court will oversee the process of distributing the person's assets according to their wishes.
  • If a child's parents die, the surrogate court may appoint a guardian to take care of the child's needs.
  • If someone dies without a will, the surrogate court will determine how their assets will be distributed among their heirs.

These examples illustrate how the surrogate court handles different types of cases related to the administration of wills, guardianship, and assets. The court ensures that the wishes of the deceased are carried out and that any minor children are taken care of. It also ensures that the deceased person's assets are distributed fairly among their heirs.
