Re: Estate executor probe
You will also need the approximate date of death and date of probate of the Will or administration. The Surrogate will usually provide this information (if there was a Will, when it was probated, and who is appointed to represent the estate. Copies of the Will, if there was one, may be obtained for a small photocopying fee. If you need help, contact me directly.
