Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
opening a ''small estate''
Despite searching Knowledge Base, I still don't understand the procedure for a ''small estate''. I downloaded forms from NYS, but don't know what to do with them. Do I register an estate somehow? Do I need letter of administration or something to deal with banks, creditors, etc.? Please outline procedure or direct me to an online source. (My sister and I are appointed executors in will. She's in NY but I'm in CA.) Thanks.

If the value of the estate is less than $20,000, there is a simplified procedure.
This is what attorneys are trained to do. For a brief, no cost, no obligation consultation, call at 914.907.1165 or e-mail.
