Does the Lawyer Need To Be in the Same City or County as the Decedent?

20 September 2017 No Comment

Usually not. Most probated estates are uncontested and undisputed, in which case neither the attorney nor the executor actually goes to court. All the paperwork is handled by mail. Therefore most estates can be handled by any New York-licensed attorney, regardless of where he or she may actually have his or her office.
