Serving Your Probate, Administration and Estate Planning Needs
Citation:  A command to appear in court regarding a petition or other proceeding. ​

SURROGATE'S COURT CITATIONS

After a Petition has been filed in Surrogate's Court, all interested parties must be served with notice of the process before the court.  
​This notice is called a Citation and it is issued by the clerk of the court.  

In providing notice, the citation gives a party the opportunity to dispute the petition that is before the court.  If a person signed a Waiver of Citation (or Waiver of Process), then he or she would not need to be served with a citation.


If you ever receive a Surrogate's Court Citation, then treat it very seriously.
 Failing to appear can have an adverse effect on your rights.
