See more details on Administration - Surrogate's forms

The Surrogate's Court Administration Forms page provides fillable forms for administering the estate of a person who died without a will in New York.

Available petitions include:

  • Standard Letters of Administration
  • Ancillary Letters of Administration (for non-New York residents with in-state assets)
  • Letters of Administration d.b.n. (de bonis non, for when a prior administrator cannot complete the estate)

Corresponding procedural checklists are included for each of the three administration proceeding types to help guide filers through the process.
