S 8340 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to eligibility of a person who is not a lawful permanent resident to be a fiduciary

This bill (S 8340) removes an automatic disqualification for non-lawful permanent residents seeking to serve as fiduciaries - such as estate administrators or trustees managing someone else's money or property. It directly affects immigrants without permanent U.S. residency who may have been barred from these roles under current law. The key provision amends court procedure rules to state explicitly that residency status alone cannot disqualify someone from fiduciary roles. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
