Resolving New York Probate Disputes

Ideally, estate administration will proceed smoothly, with no questions as to the value and title of assets, no disputes between heirs and beneficiaries, and perfect performance by the executor or administrator. Although there is a great deal that an experienced probate lawyer can do to anticipate and avoid litigation risk, some disputes are inevitable.
