What Makes Probate And Intestacy Challenging

There are two primary forms of estate administration in New York: administration of a will or trust and intestacy. Intestacy refers to the process of administering an estate that has no estate plan in place. While many of the laws are intuitive, like property going to next of kin, the practical side of estate administration is not always so straightforward. You will have to answer questions like:

  • What debts does the estate have?
  • Can you identify all relevant persons, like children, spouses and relatives?
  • Are estate taxes applicable?
  • What investments, accounts, pensions and nonliquid assets are included in the estate?
  • If there is a will, is it up-to-date and enforceable?

The process can be overwhelming, and mistakes are costly, both financially and socially. Few people expect you to manage this process alone.
