Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Re: probate and estae

Yes. You are each entitled to retain your own attorneys. Resonable legals fees should be paid by the estate.

Re: probate and estae

While each Executor can retain independent cousel, the costs may be excessive to the estate. I suggest that the co-Executors narrow their areas of disagreement and retain someone to mediate them. This might be less costly. You have not described the areas of disagreement, or how they might impact the estate. Perhaps raising this question here might get you an answer you can agree upon.
