Experienced Probate Attorney in New York

When someone has died, their Last Will and Testament must be “probated” in the Surrogate’s Court in the county in which they last resided. Even if the person died intestate (without a Will), their estate must be “administered” under the supervision of the Surrogate’s Court.

Whether you are the named Executor in the Will, or the spouse, child, sibling or other possible beneficiary of the deceased, the Law Offices of Andrea Lowenthal, PLLC is able to help you determine how best to proceed in the matter of resolving the estate of the deceased. Contact me today via e-mail or call me at 212-662-5324 to discuss the appropriate procedure.

For most estates, the probate process can be relatively smooth and without significant expense. If you are the person named as the Executor in the Will of the deceased, it is your responsibility to bring the probate proceeding so that you become authorized to assume your responsibilities to the estate, which includes identifying the assets of the deceased, paying legal debts, and distributing the estate according to the wishes of the deceased. If there is no Will, then it must be determined who is the appropriate person to seek estate administration, and identify the legal beneficiaries of the deceased. In either case, understanding the nature and consequences of one’s responsibilities for the estate is very important, and you should have experienced legal guidance.
