Surrogate's Court Procedure Act (SCP) CHAPTER 59-A, ARTICLE 7
§ 712. Petition; process thereupon; suspension

A petition as prescribed in the preceding section must show that the
case is one therein specified and, if entertained, process must be
issued according to the prayer thereof to the fiduciary against whom
relief is sought and to such other persons as the court may direct.

Upon the issuance of process the court may by order suspend the
respondent wholly or partly from the exercise of his powers and
authority during the pendency of the proceeding. A certified copy of
the order so made must be served with the process, but from the time it
is made, the order is binding upon the respondent and upon all other
persons, without service thereof, subject to the exceptions and
limitations prescribed in 720 and 721.
