Out of State Clients Probate

Out of State Clients-Help with NY Probate and NY Estate Administration matters

Executors, Administrators, Trustees, Beneficiaries and Heirs

Relocation is happening more and more often in our increasingly mobile society. You grew up on Long Island and your loved ones still live there, but you have long since moved away from the State of New York. But then your parent passes away, either naming you as executor of his or her estate, or leaving you an inheritance that must be settled in Nassau or Suffolk County. The good news is that the laws of the State of New York allows non-resident fiduciaries also known as executors, administrators or trustees of estates to be appointed and serve the estate.

Whether you are an out-of-state executor or an out-of-state beneficiary of a New York estate, we can help you through the process

At the Law Office of Bonnie Lawston, we bring more than 20 years of experience to fiduciaries and beneficiaries of estates in Nassau County and Suffolk County on Long Island. In most instances, we can settle your estate without you ever having to travel to New York. We have a comprehensive understanding of the estate administration process, and can simplify matters so that you get the outcome you need with minimal stress and anxiety. Our office and staff are equipped and experienced to work with you from your home providing you with guidance and outstanding legal service at a reasonable and affordable cost. We will maximize your inheritance while protecting your interests.

Our office offers what most law firms do not—personal attention as well as deferred retainers. If you do not have the liquid funds to pay a retainer, no worries. Upon review and qualification, most clients qualify for the deferred retainer where no legal fees are paid up front but are paid upon collection of the assets from the estate.

A large majority of our clients live in Florida, South Carolina and other parts of the United States. With modern travel and the internet, families have moved all over the country. Upon retaining our office, we commence work within one business day. Appointments are obtained within days in some cases. Our attorney and staff will assist you with the sale of real property and all the closing papers necessary to complete the process while guiding you through each step, keeping you fully informed.

Our many years of representing clients who are executors, administrators and beneficiaries of New York estates has enabled us to become experienced in all sides of estate administration, including litigation of all of the different stages of a matter.

We know the pitfalls that many clients face during probate and can advise you about how to proceed properly, and how to avoid any unnecessary litigation or complications in the future. Our skilled team has experience with real estate matters and dealing with businesses that may or may not be related to the estate, but that may affect it.
