Is It Possible to File Probate Without a Lawyer? Yes, it is possible to file probate without a lawyer. It can be a good idea to hire an attorney if the estate in question is complex, or you dont feel confident navigating the legal system and probate process.
Avoid probate with these forms of ownership: Life Insurance, unless all beneficiaries are deceased. Uniform Transfer to Minors (UTMA) Accounts. U.S. Savings Bonds with payable on death beneficiaries or joint ownership. Investment Accounts Designated as Transfer on Death.
A petition for administration or probate of Will should be submitted to the Probate Court within 30 days of the decedents death. It should be accompanied by the original Will and codicils, if any, and a certified copy of the death certificate.
In New York, if the estate has assets valued at $50,000 or more, probate may be required. This threshold is set by the Surrogates Court in New York and applies to all assets held solely in the decedents name.
Only an estate valued over $50,000 must be probated when there is a will. The court has a small estate proceeding when the estate is below $50,000.
