Understanding Probate
Probate is the process of establishing the validity of a decedent's will and the distribution of his or her estate according to their last will and testament. It is a complex process that serves to follow through with the wishes of the decedent regarding his or her estate. The probate process can prove to be even more challenging if there is disagreement over the terms of the will.
Disagreements arise for any number of reasons, including but not limited to: dissatisfaction, grief, finances, misusing power of attorney, fraud, and other forms of disappointment revolving around an individual's estate. At Novick & Associates, P.C., our experienced team of New York probate lawyers can help you carry out your duties and handle the obstacles that arise.
