Choosing an Executor

A New York State Executor Settles An Estate

A New York State Executor is appointed by the Surrogate’s Court. Typically, the Executor is named in the decedent’s Will and is appointed by the Court when the Will is admitted to probate.

The Executor’s job is to collect the decedent’s assets, wind-up the decedent’s affairs, pay all taxes, debts and claims and, finally, distribute the net estate in accordance with the directions in the Will. While this may appear straightforward, there are many complexities involved in each estate and an Executor in New York has many legal responsibilities regarding the settling of a decedent’s estate.
