§ 106. Appendix of official forms
The state administrator of the state of New York shall have the power to adopt, amend and rescind an appendix of forms. Forms adopted pursuant to this section shall be sufficient under the surrogate's court procedure act and shall be accepted for filing in all of the surrogate's courts. Any judge of the surrogate's court may provide forms other than the official forms for use in his county, provided, however, that the use of such forms shall not be required instead of the official forms.
The state administrator may adopt, amend, or rescind an appendix of forms; adopted official forms are legally sufficient and must be accepted for filing in every Surrogate’s Court. ★ A Surrogate’s Court judge may offer other county forms, but cannot require them instead of the official forms.
