FAQ
New York's Transfer-on-Death Deed Law is set to take effect on July 19, 2024. The new law allows New York residents to designate a beneficiary to automatically inherit their real property upon their death, similar to beneficiary designations on retirement accounts.
There is no legal time limit to transfer real estate after death. It could happen quickly, or it could take years.

If There Is No Will When a person passes away without a will, the property is transferred ing to the laws of intestate succession. Under these circumstances, the probate court (known as the Surrogate's Court in New York) plays a pivotal role by appointing the person to administer your estate.
In New York, if two or more people acquire property together, the law automatically presumes the property is held as tenants in common. If they wish to be joint tenants with rights of survivorship, the purchasers must expressly specify that fact in the deed and in all documents related to the transaction.
Not only does this ensure the immediate transfer of property, but it also avoids the lengthy and costly probate process. In New York, there are three ways to hold property with a co-owner: tenancy by the entirety, joint tenancy, and tenants in common.
New York State laws have created a framework for passing on property when someone dies intestate. Instead of a probate proceeding, the closest living relative of the decedent (the person who died) will have to file for estate administration. This generally falls to the spouse, children, parents, or siblings.
Possession by one is possession by all. So what this means is each cotenant may lease or license his or her right to occupy and use the common property to a third person to the same extent that it could be occupied and used by the lessor cotenant.
