Decree (For The Appointment Of Successor Trustee)

DECREE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.This is a New York Surrogate’s Court form used when a trustee previously appointed under a decedent’s will has died, resigned, or become unable to continue serving. This decree authorizes the appointment of a successor trustee entitled to letters of trusteeship in accordance with the will’s terms. Before issuing the decree, the court confirms that jurisdiction has been obtained, all required notices have been given, and that the petitioner has the legal right to the appointment. It also revokes any prior Letters of Trusteeship issued to the former trustee and typically waives the bond requirement. The decree is signed and entered by the Surrogate of the County overseeing the estate. www.FormsWorkflow.com
