Assisting You With Estate Administration And Probate in Rochester, NY

If you have been selected as an estate executor for a loved one, you have a fiduciary obligation to administer the decedent’s estate, which includes the distribution of assets in accordance with the will and payment of debts and taxes pursuant to New York law.

For individuals who die without a will, the court allows a family member or friend to serve as an administrator and distribute the decedent’s assets in accordance with New York laws of intestacy.

The estate administration and probate process require diligence. As with other legal matters connected to life changes, there are many steps that can complicate this undertaking.
