If a person died intestate - without a will - then the estate must go through the administration process, and the assets will be distributed among the person's family under New York's law of intestacy. If a person left a will that can be submitted to the probate process but there are questions of undue influence, validity of deathbed wills, or concerns over appraisals of collections, real estate, or businesses, it is important to retain the help of qualified probate lawyers. Our lawyers can quickly grasp the issues and know how to help you chart a path through potentially contentious family matters and complex probate issues during a time of grieving. If the validity of the will is not in question but there is ambiguity or even contradictory information relating to disbursement of assets, a construction proceeding may be appropriate to help clarify the aims of the person who wrote the will.
Whether you are the executor of an estate and other family members are raising questions about probate proceedings, or you are seeking to contest a will or challenge a probate proceeding, or are all united in the need for clarity through a construction proceeding, Russo & Burke can help.
