FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Probate is a legal process where a court oversees the distribution of a deceased person’s assets and property. It ensures that debts are paid, and assets are distributed according to the deceased’s wishes or state law.
The duration of probate can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the estate, potential disputes, and court schedules. On average, probate in New York can take anywhere from several months to a year or more.
Not necessarily. Some smaller estates or estates with assets held in certain types of trusts may be exempt from probate. Additionally, assets with designated beneficiaries, such as life insurance policies or retirement accounts, typically pass outside of probate.
Executors or administrators are tasked with various duties, including gathering and inventorying assets, notifying creditors, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries according to the terms of the will or state law.
While probate can often be minimized with proper estate planning, it cannot always be entirely avoided. However, strategies such as creating a revocable living trust, joint ownership with rights of survivorship, and beneficiary designations can help bypass probate for many assets.
Disputes during probate can arise for various reasons, including challenges to the validity of the will or disagreements among beneficiaries. These disputes may be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or litigation in probate court.
Probate costs can include court fees, attorney’s fees, executor’s commissions, appraisal fees, and other administrative expenses. These costs can vary depending on the size and complexity of the estate.
If there is no valid will, the estate will be distributed according to state intestacy laws, which outline the distribution of assets among legal heirs. In New York, intestacy laws prioritize spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives.
Yes, it is possible to challenge the validity of a will during probate. Common grounds for challenge include lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution.
It’s advisable to review your estate plan periodically, especially after significant life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or changes in financial circumstances.
