Probate and administration

Services

The loss of a loved one is a difficult and challenging part of life. Amidst the grieving process, there are legal matters that must be addressed to settle the deceased person’s estate. In the state of New York, this process is known as probate and estate administration.

What is Probate and Estate Administration?

Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s Last Will and Testament is declared by the court as valid and the estate assets are distributed according to the Will or state law if there is no valid will. An administrator will be appointed by the court when there is no valid Will that a deceased person left. After the appointment of a person in charge of the estate (executor or the administrator) estate administration begins. It is a process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets with as the Will provides or in accordance with the State law (when there is no Will). Both processes involve the appointment of an executor or administrator to oversee the estate’s affairs.

  My previous attorney worked diligently on my case for over a year. We reached a point where I needed a stronger, more knowledgeable attorney to represent me.
Suffice to say, Marianna Schwartzman was recommended to me by my first attorney, and I knew it was a good fit from the moment we met.
In a very short time since Marianna took over my case, very important legal matters are being addressed.
My goal is to achieve resolution of my case, and with Marianna being at the helm, it gives me confidence that my case will reach a positive result.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a highly knowledgeable, no nonsense attorney to fight for your case, you will not be disappointed in hiring Marianna Schwartzman Law Group.
Sincerely yours.
