Queens Surrogate’s Court Lawyers
What Is Surrogate’s Court in New York?
New York’s Surrogate’s Courts handle cases “involving the affairs of decedents," including wills, certain types of trusts, and other estate matters, as well as adoptions. Should you or someone you love pass away without a will, a Surrogate’s Court will oversee the administration of your estate. Similarly, these courts take on probating wills.

Does Every Estate Go Through Surrogate’s Court?
No, not every estate in New York goes through Surrogate’s Court. Assets held in a trust, for instance, can avoid this often lengthy and complicated process. Additionally, should a person die without a will, their estate will be “administrated” and not probated. However, if someone passes away and only leaves behind a will, it must be filed in the Surrogate’s Court and approved for probate.
