About this App

  • This New York State Surrogate's Court guided interview app was created by students in the Disability and Aging Justice Clinic at CUNY School of Law as part of a project with the New York County Surrogate's Court.
  • This app was created by legal interns Katherine Bustamante, Matthew Krein, Emily Sugarman, and Maricella Tenorio Bocangel under the supervision of Joseph Rosenberg, an attorney at law admitted to the bar in New York State and Professor at CUNY School of Law.
  • This guided interview app does not create an attorney-client relationship. For specific legal advice, you should talk with an attorney.
  • A special thank you to Erica Gomez, the attorney in charge of the New York County Surrogate's Court Help Center.
