What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process that occurs in New York after someone passes away, leaving a will. This court process is necessary to administer a will if the estate's assets are valued at $50,000 or more.

Understanding Probate Court Steps in New York

During probate, the court follows specific steps to validate and distribute the will according to the deceased's wishes and New York state laws. Beneficiaries must wait through this process to receive their inheritance if the estate meets the required criteria.

What Are The Benefits Of Probate?

Many view probate as a cumbersome and costly process, but it has several advantages:

• The court will validate the will. A will cannot be accepted without the court's confirmation that it is lawful and adheres to state regulations.

• The estate administrator will be supervised. The probate court will closely monitor the executor’s duties to guarantee everything is conducted appropriately. This also provides additional security for beneficiaries or heirs.

• Probate court provides a forum to resolve issues such as will contests, guardianship, and accountings.

• Creditors must file claims within a limited time frame, typically a few months. In contrast, trusts may have statutes of limitations extending several years.
