The fastest way to get oriented on a New York estate is a 30-minute consultation with attorney Russel Morgan — book it directly at calendly.com/russel-morgan/30min. Morgan Legal Group helps families, executors, and beneficiaries throughout New York State, where probate is filed in the Surrogate’s Court of the decedent’s county of domicile (SCPA 205-206). Tell us which county and what assets are involved, and we’ll point you to the right next step.

This is an informational consultation to help you understand your options — there is no obligation, and booking does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Statewide service area
We advise on estate and probate matters across all of New York State, including:
- NYC (five boroughs): New York (Manhattan), Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Bronx, and Richmond (Staten Island) County Surrogate’s Courts.
- Long Island: Nassau County Surrogate’s Court (Mineola) and Suffolk County Surrogate’s Court (Riverhead).
- Suburbs and upstate: Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Albany, Erie, Monroe, Onondaga, and the remaining counties.
The right court is always the one in the decedent’s county of domicile. See the statewide estate guide for how venue is determined.
What to bring to your consultation
To make the most of the call, have available (as applicable):
- The original will and any codicils
- A certified death certificate
- A list of assets and roughly how each is titled (sole name, joint, beneficiary designation, trust)
- Names and contact information for distributees/beneficiaries
- Any prior estate-planning documents (trusts, powers of attorney)
You don’t need everything to start — even a rough picture lets us identify the county and the first procedural steps.
