Simplifying The Probate Process For Your Family
Probate and estate administration refer to the legal processes that occur after a person has passed away. In general, probate or administration resolves the deceased person’s assets and debts, as signed off on by a court. In Queens, just one court handles probate matters, which can be time-consuming if they are not handled properly. Because any estate taxes are due nine months after the decedent’s passing, after which an estate can be penalized, it is essential to handle the petition carefully with the help of an experienced attorney.
