Dying Without a Will • Intestate Succession Attorney

When someone in your family has died without a will in New York, the deceased is said to have died "intestate." In such situations, a person's right to an inheritance is determined by New York's intestate succession laws, not the wishes of the person who has died.

Contact an experienced intestate succession attorney at the law offices of Goldberg Sager & Associates to explore issues related to a relative who has died or is dying without a will, including property division, transfer of assets, or property title transfer to a surviving spouse.

Estate planning and probate lawyer Marcel A. Sager has more than 15 years of experience helping surviving spouses, children, other next of kin, or friends, file petitions to serve as the administrator of the estate of a family member who has died without a will. Mr. Sager guides family members through the statutory requirements necessary to complete final transfer of assets previously owned by deceased individuals.

In addition to handling intestate succession matters, we handle a full range of elder law, estate planning, probate matters, and Surrogate's Court matters in an atmosphere of respectful client service.
