I am often asked what to do if a tenant dies as a Buffalo Attorney. First off, you should not grant access to the apartment to anyone unless they provide a certificate from the court that they are an administrator of the estate, executor of the estate, or the county public administrator. Secondly, you can file a claim against the estate if an executor or an administrator is appointed to recover your lost rent and damages to the apartment.
