Development of a
New Fiduciary System for New York
A report of the State
of New York Unified Court System, further entitled, Restoring
Public Trust and Confidence: Fiduciary Appointment Reform in New
York. New York's fiduciary appointment system has long been
plagued by problems and criticisms. In the past several years,
Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye has initiated a major effort to address
these concerns. The result is a completely re-vamped fiduciary
appointment system. This report reviews the broad-ranging changes
that have been made, evaluates whether they have been effective so
far, and identifies additional areas requiring examination and
reform.
