We present the probate process that the surrogate court uses when no will exists. It follows family trees to determine who is entitled to the proceeds of an estate, which sometimes will leave out those you are most concerned about receiving assets when you die.

If you do not have a will or a trust, order this document. If you proceed with filling this gap in your Estate plan, the $15 fee will be applied to the cost of creating the proper documents for you as the Grantor.
