Satellite Offices

As a means of bringing government to the people, in 1999 I initiated Bergen County's first Satellite Surrogate's Office program which is operated without additional taxpayer cost. The goal of the program, is to make the services of the Surrogate's Office as accessible to the people of Bergen County as possible through placement of 10 strategically selected locations which serve distinct regions of the county.

In order to avail oneself of the "Satellite Program", you may call the Bergen County Surrogate's Court at (201) 646-2252 or write to the Court at: Bergen County Surrogate's Court, Bergen County Justice Center, 10 Main Street, Room 211, Hackensack, NJ 07601.

You will be instructed by a Surrogate's Court staff member as to the necessary documents and pertinent information needed to probate a Will or have an administrator appointed.

An individual can then make an appointment to meet with a Surrogate's Court representative at a "Satellite Office" location.

The locations of the Surrogate's Court Satellite Office Program are as follows:

Fort Lee, Senior Citizens Center
Park Ridge, Borough Hall
Norwood, Borough Hall
Wallington, Borough Hall
Ridgewood, Municipal Library
Cresskill, Municipal Building
Emerson, Municipal Building
Fair Lawn, Municipal Building
Rutherford, Municipal Building
River Vale, Municipal Building
