What Are Probate Court Documents?

The structure and content of probate Court documents vary from state to state as do probate laws. Probate Court documents can include: a Will, if there was one; codicils (amendments) to the Will; a petition for the appointment of an Executor or Administrator; a list of heirs or beneficiaries; and an inventory of the decedent's estate assets at the time of death. I have represented many clients in matters of probate, fiduciary appointment and estate administration.

The New York Surrogate’s Courts have specific forms and documents that require detailed information that must be filed in probate, administration and other proceedings. The forms and information assist the Court in determining the relief that is being requested such as the probate of a Will or the settlement of an Executor’s account.

I have many years of experience in the NY Surrogate's Courts involving probate court documents and the accounting of the estate when it is finalized. If you have any questions just call (212) 355-2575 and someone will assist you or fill out my contact form.
