NYC Probate Process and Administration
Probate refers to the process in which the Last Will and Testament of an individual is validated by Surrogate’s Court upon their passing. The probate process typically takes several months, and sometimes can take several years to be finalized. The amount of pleadings and documents required can be overwhelming, court hearings can quickly rise from a few to many, and the many issues that surface can be disastrous to the beneficiaries and families involved. This is why you need a New York City attorney to help you with your probate matters. Mishiyeva Law, PLLC., is a firm that is here to guide you every step of the way.
