A Diverse Law Practice for a Diverse Clientele
It's unfortunate that the process of probating an estate, with or without a will, must occur during the difficult time following the death of a loved one. Many executors and representatives are family members who have never had to handle an estate before and now they must do so while grieving.
We make it as easy as possible to fulfill the terms of the will or to follow New York probate law if there was no will to tell you how to handle the assets and debts of your loved one. We know the law but we are also sensitive to family dynamics and culture. Our law firm serves a diverse clientele, including many non-English-speaking clients. Our staff speak Spanish, Gujerati, Arabic, Hebrew, Bangladeshan, Bengali and Hindi.
In addition to probating estates with or without wills, we also help with estate administration when an estate plan was in place that included one or more trusts. While a trust does not need to go through the probate process, there are still a number of things that must be done to ensure that all assets are moved into the trust and that the trust becomes active. This is called estate administration.
