Decedent's Estate, Probate & Things to Expect

Probate is the process by which a writing that is a last will  is validated by the court.  Typically, a last will is filed with the court for probate where a person who dies owns assets or property in his or her name alone.

Once the probate process is completed the decedent's affairs or his estate can be administered by the Executor appointed by the court in the probate proceeding. Decedent's estates typically involve the collection of assets and the payment of bills and taxes.  The probate process and the administration of the decedent's estate can take many months or years and can involve complex tax, financial and other issues.

I have many years of experience working with and advising clients regarding probate and the administration of decedent's estate.

I graduated in the top 10% of my class at New England School of Law in Boston and served on the prestigious “Law Review.” I have been an attorney at law in my own law practice in New York City since 1985.
