The Surrogate's Court exists in every county in the state and
handles all matters relating to wills, estates and property of
deceased persons. The Surrogate's Court also shares authority
with the Family Court to hear adoption proceedings.
All Franklin County Surrogate's Court estate files are available
on site in the Surrogate's Office, fourth floor of the courthouse,
from the mid 1800's to present.
All Office of Court Administration Official Surrogate Forms
are accepted in this county. Hot Docs forms from the New York State Bar Association are also accepted. Forms are also available on-line at www.nycourthelp.gov/forms.html.
