Without knowing all the facts, no one can answer properly.

If these are the only facts - probably not. However, it appears more facts are needed for a complete answer. For example, why is the matter before the Surrogate? How was title acquired? Who has been paying the taxes and mortgage. Are more names on the Deed? This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not intended to be legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship.
