New York S08295 amends the Surrogate's Court Procedure Act, specifically Section 702, to require that all letters granted to personal representatives contain restrictions on compromising any cause of action arising from the death of the decedent. This means personal representatives, who manage the estate of a deceased person, must not settle any legal claims related to the decedent's death without further court approval. The act also allows courts to limit and restrict the powers of these letters according to specific circumstances.
