Authority to act on behalf of your estate is up for grabs If you don't have a will, then the Surrogate will typically appoint one or more of your heirs to a similar position referred to as “administrator.” The appointment is based on the order of priority laid out by New York law.
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.
New York law establishes an order of priority for appointing an administrator. The surviving spouse has the first priority, followed by any children, grandchildren, parents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and other relatives.
The person who performs this work is a fiduciary of the estate, also known as an administrator or executor. In New York, creditors have a maximum of seven months to file claims against an estate.
With a valid will, an executor is designated to handle the probate process, but without a will, instead of an executor, an administrator gets appointed. In New York, the closest living relative of your loved one will have to file for estate administration. This usually falls to the spouse or an adult child.
If there is no Will, an Intestate Administration proceeding is filed. The court will then appoint an Administrator and he or she will have all of the powers of an Executor.
You'll have to file a request in the county where the deceased person lived at the time of their death. The paperwork will ask for you to be officially acknowledged as the legal executor representing the estate. In addition to the petition, you'll need to file a valid will, if one exists, and the death certificate.
