In Surrogate’s Courts We Prepare And Process:

We work expeditiously to arrange for collection of estate assets, negotiate to address debts and liabilities, and ultimately distribute assets to the appropriate heirs and/or legatees named in a will to receive a legacy.
When Real Estate Is Involved:
We work to facilitate the sale of a property or cooperative apartment, including drafting and negotiating the contract of sale, applying for required governmental approval when necessary, and attending the closing of title.
