What is New York Probate?
Probate is the legal process of submitting the deceased’s will in court. The court validates the will and legally appoints the executor named under your will. An executor is responsible for carrying out the affairs of the estate, including collecting assets, paying debts, such as taxes, and distributing estate assets to heirs and beneficiaries as instructed.
