Re: time limit

I would suggest that you file your claim immediately. You are well within the time limits which is usually 6 months from the filing of the will and for probate.

If you do it now you won't forget to do it later.

If you need any other help, please feel free to contact me.

Re: time limit

I agree with Jeffrey, although I am not sure of the exact time limit in NY. In most states it would be 4 months after the date the Will was probated, so better to be safe than sorry, and file ASAP.
