Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Check with the Clerk of the Surrogate's Court. All interested parties have to be notified so that there is an opportunity to object. Furthermore, if the parties fail to object in a specified period of time it is deemed that the objections, if any, are waived.

I agree with Norman, but I usually send a copy of the proposed accounting with the notification, asking that people approve it. I usually send it by certified mail so I can represent to the Surrogate that everyone entitled to be notified has been notifed and received it. This avoids possible problems later on.
