FAQ
How to Submit a Claim A copy of the death certificate. Proof of Address or Ownership connecting the owner to the address or funds. Letters of Authority (Testamentary/Administration) issued by the court certifying your appointment, dated within the last six months, or a Small Estates Affidavit and Table of Heirs.
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.
If you have been named as a beneficiary in a will, it is important to recognize how long you have to declare your inheritance. Generally speaking, the time limit for a person or family member to claim an inheritance in New York State is two years from the date of the decedent's death.
Once a creditor becomes aware of a decedent's death, they must send a written notice of claim. The claim should set forth the amount owed and the particular facts out of which the claim arises.
You can use this program if: If the decedent (the person who died) had $50,000 or less in personal property. If the decedent owned real property, he/she owned it jointly with someone else and you don't plan to sell the real estate.
A New York Estate is Not a Legal Entity and Cannot Be Sued. After the death of an individual, the usual course is to proceed to have a fiduciary appointed to represent the decedent's estate.
Further, the probate process can take anywhere between several months to several years. If the estate in question is eligible, a small estate affidavit can help a family skip through this entire process. Ideally, a small estate affidavit can get approved in just a few days, or a few weeks at most.
