The passing of someone you care about is undoubtedly emotionally challenging and dealing with the intricacies associated with his/her estate is often a demanding endeavor. There are numerous legal procedures involved with the administration and division of the property of an estate. Before an Executor is officially appointed, papers have to be submitted in the Surrogate's Court. Executors are faced with the burden of learning the intricate legal procedures involved. With over 20 years of experience, I understand how to hasten the process of estate administration. As a New York probate attorney I am focused on steering those faced with fiduciary responsibilities through this process smoothly and successfully.
The probate process and estate administration ought to advance smoothly and without problems, provided that the goals of a decedent are plainly expressed and legally sound. But the process could be delayed and lead to discord and litigation in a variety of situations. As a New York estate litigation attorney I have the practical experience to help with these significant personal and financial matters. I recognize that great aggravation can come about from the process and I go out of my way to lead you through every phase of the process. I have litigated a wide array of problems that arise in will and trust disputes, accounting proceedings as well as other estate litigation matters.

I retained Mr Karvay to help me finish an estate that my previous attorney refused to complete. Mr Karvay gathered the evidence and recovered 256000 dollars of the estate monies.
