FAQ
This is a document issued by the Register of Wills authorizing a particular person (s) to act as the personal representative of the decedent's estate. If the person died with a will, the document is referred to as letters testamentary. If the person died without a will, the document is called letters of administration.
Letters of Administration will need to be obtained which requires filing a petition and many other documents with the Court. The petition for Letters of Administration is filed in the Surrogate's Court in the county where the decedent lived.
File an application with the probate court to be appointed administrator. In most cases, you will need to be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. citizen, and not have a felony record. Attend a hearing at which the probate judge reviews your application.
To file for letters of administration, you must be eligible to do so under New York State law. Eligible parties include the decedent's surviving spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, and other close relatives.
How long does it take to get letters of administration in New York. From a couple of weeks to several months. I'll give you a few examples. If the surviving family is a spouse, adult children and they all get along, then just a few weeks, because there are no court dates and no conflict.
