What is Probate in New York? Demystifying the Process
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s will is proven valid, their assets are collected, debts are paid, and property is distributed to beneficiaries. If someone dies without a will (intestate), the court appoints an administrator, and assets are distributed according to New York’s intestacy laws. This court-supervised process ensures transparency and adherence to legal requirements, protecting both the estate and its rightful heirs.
