This article is the fifth in a series about contested probate proceedings in the Surrogate’s Court. We hope that this series proves useful to practitioners as they navigate each phase of a probate contest. We conclude the series here by focusing on the trial and pre-trial considerations.

Pre-Trial Considerations

Pre-Trial Conferences and the Note of Issue/Certificate of Readiness. The Uniform Rules for Surrogate’s Court sets forth rules governing pre-trial procedures, though, in some instances, it allows the Surrogates discretion as to how they implement such procedures. See generally 22 NYCRR 207.29-207.35.
