Service area
We serve estates throughout Brooklyn (Kings County) — including Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Sheepshead Bay, and Crown Heights. Under SCPA 205, a Brooklyn-domiciled decedent’s estate is handled by the Kings County Surrogate’s Court, 2 Johnson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (verify before traveling).
What to expect from a consultation
In a first consultation we typically:
- Identify whether the matter is a probate (with a will) or an administration (without one).
- Flag estate-tax exposure if the estate includes an appreciated Brooklyn home.
- Spot likely complications early — missing original wills, heirs abroad, or potential contests.
- Outline the realistic timeline and cost for your specific situation in Kings County.
What to bring
To make the conversation productive, gather what you have:
- The original will and any codicils (or a copy if that is all you have).
- A certified death certificate, if available.
- A list of the decedent’s assets — real estate, accounts, life insurance, retirement plans.
- The names and locations of close family members (the distributees).
