SCPA 2508 gives the procedure for filing a decedent's will in Surrogate's Court:
Β§ 2508. Filing of will of decedent.
The court of any county may receive and file the will of any decedent domiciled in that county at the date of death which any person shall deliver, without payment of fee. A record of the receipt and filing thereof shall be made by the clerk and the will shall remain on file subject to the further order of the court.
This statute ensures that the will of a decedent is properly filed and recorded without any financial burden on the person delivering it. It also highlights the role of the court in maintaining the will until further orders are issued.
