In New York, creditors typically have seven months from the date the executor is appointed to file claims against the estate. This period, known as the "creditor's claim period," is crucial for settling the estate's debts.
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.
