KINSHIP CASES LAWYER SERVING BUFFALO, AMHERST, & THE REST OF ERIE COUNTY, NY

When someone passes away without a will in the State of New York and has no close surviving relative, then their estate becomes a New York kinship case. Kinship cases require highly experienced and qualified estate lawyers to ensure that the rightful family members receive their inheritance.

First, the public administrator of the county in which the person resided will conduct an inventory of artifacts in the descendant’s residence to determine lineage and whether the deceased maintained an original will among their possessions. 

The next step in the kinship case process is to locate the next of kin of the deceased. If they are found, they will be contacted by the public administrator’s office before the formal New York kinship trial begins. The heir will then have to contact a kinship lawyer to preserve their rights to the inheritance. Our knowledgeable and reliable kinship lawyers work diligently at recovering unclaimed assets of those who pass away without a will. We proudly provide legal assistance throughout Buffalo, Amherst, Williamsville, and Clarence, NY.
