Reviews of Suffolk County Surrogate's Court
"This is the worst court I have ever been to and experienced. They are extremely slow and rude."
"I am on the 5th set of returned paperwork regarding my father's estate who died December 2021. Every time I send in paperwork, I'm sent back more telling me I need more or different paperwork. I offered to come up in person and was told that was not necessary only to have my paperwork rejected again."
"Randomly closes?! February 12th? Holiday? Doesn’t say closed on website? Drove 2 hrs."
"Ever since my Mom's estate went though Suffolk County Surrogate Court I have been inundated with calls and letters about selling MY house. Obviously someone is selling names, this is a violation of my privacy. The court should not allow this information to be obtained by people not involved with the case."
"The process to expedite any type of will or estate is complicated. It's also time consuming and expensive. The average citizen will not know how to go about the process nor should they be expected to. That's why the court has a number to call which they call a "helpline". But it's really the opposite of a helpline. I'm going through a lengthy estate process. There's a lot of forms to file and it's extremely complicated. It's a learning process and there will be many things you come across that you will have to learn through research, trial, and error. If you want help from the people who work in the court whose job it is to provide some measure of help you won't get it. Let me be fair though. I did speak with one gentleman and one woman who took the time to help me and explain things. They were courteous and understanding. That's out of six different people I've spoken to in the process of trying to complete an estate matter. One woman I asked if she could tell me what one phrase on a form meant (it was some legal administrative type jargon) and she just flat out said no. No reason just no. The rest tried to get me off the phone as soon as they picked it up. And while they're rushing you off they're rude. They treat you like you're an idiot. Now you might say they're really busy. Possible. But I've been to the court in person because they make it so hard to get any information over the phone and the three times I went there during the week, it was late morning, there was barely a soul in sight, by that I mean "customers" looking for help. There was no line at all (a good thing yes) and the phones were not ringing off the hook. But despite that, the woman who I encountered at the desk where all I was doing was submitting a form was rude. I asked her ONE question and you'd have thought I asked her to hand over her first born child. And there was no one else waiting. She was just standing there. I've spoken to administrative (judicial) officials outside of Long Island and NYC and they're patient and helpful. I don't know what's wrong with these people. And I'm sorry for the few that do try to help and show some common decency to people, many of whom are trying to complete something that's complicated, time consuming, and costly and that usually has to do with a stressful event in their life."
