A Short Certificate is the document issued by the Surrogate. The executor will use the Short Certificate as proof of their authority to transfer or sell the decedent's assets. A Short Certificate is needed for the transfer or sale of any asset that is solely in the decedent's name.
The procedure may be initiated in the Surrogate's Court earlier but the issuance of short certificates will not occur until the 11th day. This 10-day period allows for the filing of a caveat by an heir at law or beneficiary in a prior last Will.
