Your Advocate in Intestate Succession and Will Challenges

Not every estate involves a will. When someone passes away intestate, without a valid will, New York law guides the administration process. Our firm helps you navigate these situations, where the court appoints an administrator to distribute assets according to the state’s intestate succession laws, ensuring fair and lawful handling of the estate.

It’s important to understand that New York law protects certain family members’ inheritance rights, even if they are excluded from a will.
For example, a surviving spouse is entitled to a portion of the estate regardless of will provisions, but they must act promptly to assert these rights. Children, whether biological or adopted, also have inheritance rights and can contest a will during the probate process.
Don’t leave your family’s future to chance; trust our experienced team to protect your rights. Contact us today for a personalized consultation.

“Incredibly Compassionate”

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional service I received from Nicole Zuvich during one of the most difficult times in my life. When I found out that my dad had terminal cancer, I was overwhelmed with emotions and the weight of managing his affairs. Nicole was not only professional but also incredibly compassionate and understanding of our situation.

They took the time to walk me through the estate planning process, explaining everything clearly and ensuring that my dad’s wishes were properly documented. They made what could have been an incredibly stressful process so much easier, guiding us every step of the way with patience and empathy.

Thank you so much Nicole!
