Informal probate is only one of several procedural options available to obtain Letters and thereby settle the estate of a deceased person. Estates probated informally come before the Probate Registrar in an administrative process. Informal probates are not supervised by Probate Court.
Probate involves several steps: Filing the probate petition. Give Notice. Inventorying the property. Paying outstanding debts and taxes. Distributing the remaining property as the will or state intestacy law directs.
Under New York law, home sellers are required to deliver a Property Condition Disclosure Statement to the buyers – or allow a $500 credit at closing. Both buyers and sellers need an attorney's help in determining how to respond to this law.
There is no requirement that you hire an attorney to take care of a probate proceeding on your behalf. If you feel comfortable doing so, you may handle a simple probate yourself.
To qualify for a small estate affidavit in New York, the total value of the deceased person's estate must be $50,000 or less, excluding real property like land or buildings. If the decedent owned real estate, the small estate procedure isn't an option. Instead, a formal probate process may be required.
Complete the affidavit: Fill out the form with the decedent's information, a list of their assets and the names and addresses of all heirs or beneficiaries. Notarize the affidavit: Sign the completed affidavit in front of a notary public. Some states might also require additional witnesses.
Ask the County Clerk or search online for your county's probate forms. Fill out the forms with the requested details, such as the decedent's full name, address, date of birth, and date of death; their personal representatives' contact details; heirs; estate value; and more. Then return the forms to the County Clerk.
