Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
Deceased person's stocks
My aunt passed away and i was on all her cash accounts as a joint owner so her will is not in play. However, she did have some stocks in her name only. If her will is not probated, what happens to the stocks? The stocks are worth about $2,500 and to probate her will would cost much more than that.

Re: Deceased person's stocks
There is a small estate process with a minimal charge which you can do yourself.
Go to the probate clerk in the Surrogate's Court in the county where your aun resided when she died,
The clerk will be able to assist you.
