- Q. Process and cost of deed transfer in NYC after owner's death without a will.
- A: There are at least two issues:

- Q. How can parents access assets of a deceased son in NY when spouse is not sharing info and there's no will?
- A: If your son had no Will, the laws of intestacy control who takes his estate. If he was married when he died and left no children, then his wife would be the sole beneficiary of his estate. if your son owed you money, then you could file a claim against the estate, but you would have to be able to prove the debt. If you know the court in which his wife began the proceeding, then you could look up the court file and start from there.
- Q. 97 yo aunt - no kids, sibblings, no will. 19 nieces/nephews -16 had no relationship with her. Can they be excluded?
- A: If your aunt has no Will and wants to make one, it is up to her to decide how where her estate should go, free of any undue influence which might jeopardize the validity of the Will. This assumes she is competent to make a Will. If she is not competent to make Will, or has already passed, then all 19 of the nieces and nephews would be treated equally.
