I am conducting legal research for the state of: New York

Hi, I dont know if im in the right area for this post

I was in an accident when I was a kid and a court appointed trust was put in place, unfortunately both my parents have passed and im living overseas so have no access to track it down.
I think I might have found the court records (well a brief description) what I am wondering is how to track down the records and if they could help me. This was in the 1980s in NY.
The record I have found only give brief description of date index number, plaintiff and defendant. How do I get full records and judgements (im not in US at moment)Any help would be much appreciated
