Question:
What is New York Small Estate?
Answer:
There is also a simplified probate proceeding known as a small estate. If you have no more than $50,000 and you have no real estate, it’s called voluntary administration. There is a do-it-yourself program on the court’s website. I usually refer people that have small estates to this program that the courts have for small estates.
