The Kings County Surrogate’s Court prohibits petitioners from stating “any further relief requested” in the form JA-10 (1/2004) Petition for a Compulsory Accounting and Related Relief SCPA 2205.

The form JA-10, entitled “Petition for a Compulsory Accounting and Related Relief SCPA 2205 (emphasis added)” includes a provision on page 1 that reads: “[NOTE: Complete Paragraph 6 IF relief requested is in addition to a compulsory accounting.]”

Paragraph 6 gives the petitioner extra space to “[State any further relief requested]”.

However,  I recently submitted the form JA-1 petition in Kings County Surrogate’s Court, with further relief requested, but I was advised by the  Accounting Department that further relief cannot be requested and that portion of the form must be left blank in Kings County.
