When a Kings County estate enters the Surrogate’s Court system, the path forward demands precision — not guesswork. Russel Morgan, Esq. and the Morgan Legal Group team bring methodical, statute-grounded representation to every probate matter heard in Brooklyn’s Surrogate’s Court, from straightforward petitions under the Surrogate’s Court Procedure Act (SCPA) to contested multi-asset estates governed by the EPTL.
What to Expect in Your Free Consultation
A 30-minute session is structured around your situation:
- Estate overview — asset composition, will validity, and whether SCPA Article 13 voluntary administration applies to smaller estates
- Procedural roadmap — petition filing, jurisdiction over interested persons, return date strategy, and issuance of Letters Testamentary under SCPA §§ 1412–1414
- Timeline and cost clarity — straightforward probate typically resolves in 3–6 months; legal fees commonly range from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on complexity
- Next steps — exactly what documents to gather before engaging counsel (original will, death certificate, preliminary asset inventory)
