New York does not have a deadline for this, as other states do, but it is helpful to take this action as soon as possible to begin the process, especially if you will be going through full probate.

The State Archives has created a probate pathfinder to help researchers determine where to locate New Yorkers' probate records, which include wills, estate inventories, and letters of administration relating to deceased persons' estates.

As part of the probate process, letters testamentary are issued by your state's probate court. To obtain the document, you need a copy of the will and the death certificate, which are then filed with the probate court along with whatever letters testamentary forms the court requires as part of your application.

The assets include the decedent's place of residence, additional real estate properties, rental properties, vehicles, furnishings, jewelry, vehicles, recreational items, bank accounts, interest-bearing accounts, securities, some intellectual property, and the like. All debts also must be settled during probate.

(Administration is considered granted to a fiduciary by a Connecticut probate court when the court has issued Form PC-450, Certificate of Appointment, with the probate court seal affixed thereto, to the fiduciary.)

You will need to send the original Will (if applicable), a copy of the official death certificate, a finished IHT form and the correct fee for the application. By law, the original Will becomes a public document when Probate Office gives you the grant.

Creditors have 150 days to file a claim in a Connecticut estate going through probate unless the Executor sends the creditor the letter described above. A creditor can't just ignore the Executor and march into any court other than the probate court and get a judgment for payment.

For instance, in Connecticut, if the decedent's solely-owned assets include no real property and are valued at less than $40,000 ? which is the state's ?small estates limit? ? then the estate can be settled without full probate, under a much shorter and more simplified process.
