About US
In New York City, wills are to be written by individuals of 18 years or more. The
testator person writing the will must be of sound mind and must sign the will in the
presence of two attesting witnesses. Other than a typed will the NYC
acknowledges nuncupative (oral) wills which are made by armed forces members
while undertaking their naval or military service. The armed force members may
also make holographic wills which should strictly be in the testator’s
handwriting.Estate planning helps to eliminate any discrepancies or legal issues
that may arise after the death of the testator. Even though it is not compulsory to
have a will notarized in NYC, it is highly recommended for one to notarize it. This
means it is “self-proving” and can make probate easy and fast. A will must be kept
in a safe and easily accessible place.
Upon the death of a testator, the will needs to be filed in the New York Surrogate
Court and in the county where the decedent lived. The original last will is to be
accompanied by a petition for letters testamentary. The executor or his attorney file
probate and furnishes the court with information about heirs and beneficiaries. Heirs
and beneficiaries need to be notified of the ongoing probate proceeding. A probate
proves the validity of a will and in some cases, there is a will contest.
