S 9783 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Allows certain methods for service of process

This bill updates the rules for serving legal documents in New York Surrogate's Court proceedings, allowing courts to authorize service by electronic means. It expands the methods by which process can be delivered, including via email or other digital formats, and clarifies procedures for serving non-domiciliaries and noncitizens in specific low-value cases. The legislation also adjusts the required waiting periods before a court hearing based on how the documents are served, such as reducing the notice time for electronic delivery. These changes apply to all estate and related proceedings handled by the Surrogate's Court.
