Description:
A claim is, in effect, a statement of what is alleged to be owed and a request for payment. Surrogate’s Court is a forum to address and litigate what a Decedent is alleged to owe a Claimant. The power of the Surrogate’s Court, however, does not extend to controversies involving living persons. The Surrogate’s Court, therefore, does not have subject matter jurisdiction over claims by a creditor against a trust, a distributee, or beneficiary.
An expert panel will explore different types of claims, the strategic decision-making involved in determining how and where to litigate those claims, the forum to commence those claims, and practical and procedural aspects of how to process the claim to a judgment.
