A probate court (sometimes called a surrogate court) is a court that has competence in a jurisdiction to deal with matters of probate and the administration of estates. In some jurisdictions, such courts may be referred to as orphans' courts or courts of ordinary.
Intended parents also provide a one-page letter introducing themselves to the surrogate. This is a chance to share more information about yourselves and your family members, including pets. Introduce yourselves. Talk about where you live and the things you love to do. Share the journey that led you to surrogacy.
A Short Certificate is a legal document that shows the decedent's name and date of death. It will also show the name of the Executor/Executrix who has been named to handle the affairs of the estate. A Short Certificate can be obtained at the "Register of Wills" office in the county court house.
The Surrogate's Court will issue Short Certificates (Letters Testamentary) to the executor, which the executor will use to obtain access to the decedent's estate assets. The executor will then distribute the assets pursuant to the terms of the will.
