§ 605. Enforcement of decree by execution
An execution shall not issue out of the court. The enforcement by execution of any decree or order of the court shall take place only after the docketing of a transcript as set forth in 603 of this act, whereupon the decree or order shall be enforceable by execution as if it were a judgment of the supreme court.
Surrogate’s Court does not issue execution directly. First docket a § 603 transcript; then enforce the decree or order by execution like a Supreme Court judgment. ★
