Are hearings by telephone allowed in Estate Hearings in Queens County State of New York?


My Uncle lived in Queens County, New York. He has passed away. My siblings and I have received notice of an Estate Hearing. None of us can afford to fly out to New York. He does have an estate although not much Does anyone know if the Surrogate's Court of the State of New YOrk County of Queens allows testimony by telephone? The paperwork we received stated that they need birth certificates, etc. but they have to be corroborated by oral testimony. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It would be extremely unusual - perhaps unprecedented - for a witness to appear by telephone, but it's at the discretion of the judge.
