Administration From Out of State

Sound Advice for Out of State Administrators and Executors

It often happens that the executor named in the will or the decedent's adult children live in other states. At the office of Barry Seidel & Associates, Attorneys at Law, I advise and represent out of state executors and administrators about the details of estate administration in New York City. In many cases, there will be no need for you to return to New York after the funeral.

Call 888-710-0154 if You Need Estate Administration Advice in New York City, Long Island or Westchester

Contact my office in Forest Hills, Queens to learn how my experience with New York probate and intestate administration can benefit you and the estate's other heirs and beneficiaries. I have been in practice since 1982, and my experience and thorough understanding of probate procedures allows me to handle estates of any size or complexity.

I also know how to strike the right balance between keeping out of state administrators fully engaged with the process and preventing your responsibilities to the estate from interfering unnecessarily with your family and professional obligations at home.

There's little practical difference between the duties of an executor and those of an administrator, and your own state might now use the term "personal representative" to cover both functions. Regardless of your official title, you'll find that the advice of a knowledgeable lawyer can help relieve the burdens of estate administration in New York.

My services include:

  • Probate of the will, if there is one
  • Notice to heirs, beneficiaries and creditors
  • Inventory of the estate's assets
  • Review, payment, compromise or defense of claims against the estate
  • Preparation of reports, accountings and tax returns
  • Sale of estate property
  • Distribution of assets to heirs and beneficiaries
  • Closing the estate

I also provide ancillary probate services for New York property related to a decedent's estate under administration in another state. For more information about the range of my services for out of state executors and administrators, contact Barry Seidel & Associates in Queens.
