Ancillary Proceedings and Elder Law

Guiding Out-Of-State Executors Through Probate

For generations, attorneys at DeAngelus Group, PLLC, have guided estate administrators and executors through the New York estate administration and probate process. One of the services we offer is opening ancillary probate proceedings for out-of-state executors who need to liquidate real property in New York.

In New York, fiduciaries for decedents who live out of state are required to file a separate estate proceeding — called an ancillary proceeding — to get jurisdiction over real property in New York. For example, if the deceased primarily lived in Vermont (he was domiciled there) but owned a vacation home in upstate New York, his or her fiduciary would need to file a proceeding in Vermont and an ancillary proceeding in New York.

We’ll Handle Your Ancillary Proceedings

Many fiduciaries are family members, facing legal issues during a time of significant personal loss. We’ll take over the burden of the ancillary proceedings for you or your client, representing your interests at each stage of the process.

• Obtain jurisdiction over all the property, heirs, creditors and beneficiaries
