Welcome! As Chief Clerk it is my responsibility to consult with the Judges and Court Administrators to develop the court policy, administrative structures, uniform procedures and new programs. Working closely with the Administrative Judge, I supervise a large diverse staff of clerical and professional individuals to implement policies and procedures, while promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. Together, we aim for excellence in service to our Bronx Community.
As Administrative Judge, I am responsible for overseeing all non-criminal matters in Bronx Supreme Court. There are approximately twenty-nine judges assigned to Civil Term, who are each responsible for an inventory of civil cases.

If you want your property to go to specific people after you die, to name who will be responsible for making sure your wishes are carried out, or to avoid probate, a wills lawyer can help.
Detailed law firm profiles have information like the firm's area of law, office location, office hours, and payment options. Attorney profiles include the biography, education and training, and client recommendations of an attorney to help you decide who to hire.
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
Estate Administration – Bronx County Surrogate Court handles estates where the person who died did not have a will. The person who is the closest relative of the deceased is appointed as the administrator of their estate. If the decedent is survived by a spouse, the spouse is usually appointed as the administrator. If no spouse, then children. And so on.
You can request information about an estate by writing them a letter with the correct legal name of the person who died, and include a check for $30 made out to Bronx County Surrogate’s Court, and either a return stamped envelope or your email address to receive the information.
Bronx County Miscellaneous Proceedings – Bronx County Surrogate’s Court Miscellaneous department handles Affidavits of Service and Applications to Open Safe Deposit Boxes and Sealed Apartments. It also handles other proceedings, such determining kinship in an estate that has distant relatives, advice and direction, compel fiduciary to account, compel the production of a will or a trust, proceedings by a Bronx fiduciary to discover property, proceeding to remove executor, proceeding to remove administrator, proceeding to remove trustee, proceeding by fiduciary of estate to discover property, etc. Fees for those proceedings can be found here.
Most probate proceedings are uncontested – the person who brings in the will (the proponent) submits the will, has their New York estate lawyer fill out the appropriate paperwork and files the original will in the Bronx Surrogate’s Court , together with a petition, original death certificate, funeral bill, and accompanying affidavits and notices.
