Probate refers to the process in which the Last Will and Testament of an individual is validated by Probate Court (also known as the Surrogate’s Court) upon their passing. The probate process typically takes several months, and sometimes can take several years to be finalized. The amount of pleadings and documents required can be overwhelming, court hearings can quickly rise from a few to many, and the many issues that surface can be disastrous to the beneficiaries and families involved. This is why you need a New York City attorney to help you with your probate matters. Mishiyeva Law, PLLC., is a firm that is here to guide you every step of the way.

The loss of a loved one is a difficult experience. When someone you love passes away, the last thing anyone wants to think about is the red tape that comes with attending Surrogate’s Court, and the process of compiling the right documentation to ensure that the Will is substantiating the right people involved. An expert with compassion, and surgent-like legal precision is what you need. Contact the right attorney today.
