Probate and estate administration are the legal processes involved in settling a person’s affairs after death. Depending on the circumstances, this may include filing a Will with the Surrogate’s Court, obtaining authority for an Executor or Administrator to act, identifying and collecting estate assets, addressing debts and expenses, resolving tax and other administrative matters, and ultimately distributing assets to the appropriate beneficiaries.

​

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without having to navigate an unfamiliar court process at the same time. Executors and Administrators are often faced with legal requirements, deadlines, financial institutions, and practical questions they have never encountered before. Having experienced guidance can make the process significantly more manageable.
