Company:
Richmond County Surrogate's Court
Description:
This Court has been recognized as being the leader in public outreach and education for the entire New York City Court System. The Honorable Robert J. Gigante and members of the Richmond County Surrogate’s staff have scheduled and participated in seminars and informal question and answer meetings with local community groups.
Most recently the Surrogate and key members of his staff did an outreach at the Hungerford School, a local school serving the mentally challenged and developmentally disabled community, regarding Surrogate Court practice, specifically Guardianships and Article 17A Guardianships.
This is a great opportunity for families of developmentally disabled individuals to come together and discuss their needs while learning about Surrogate’s Court procedures. The participants will be given information regarding Surrogate’s Court and will be introduced to the Surrogate’s Court Help Center.
Surrogate Gigante has made a commitment to bring the Surrogate’s Court into the Staten Island community. Under his leadership, members of the Surrogate’s Staff have participated in various community events, such as career days, school visits, senior center programs, Church functions and Continuing Legal Education Seminars sponsored by the Richmond County Bar Association. The Surrogate maintains an ongoing dialogue with community leaders as to how this Court can further assist and enhance the Staten Island community.
