Appointed by the Surrogate's Court judges of Bronx County; salaries and expenses are funded through the NYC expense budget
Each NYC borough has its own Public Administrator, appointed by the local Surrogate's Court. These are city-funded offices that handle estates the private sector won't -- typically those with no will, no heirs, or no one willing to step up.
