Compassionate Guidance, Trusted Experience. Probate Made Simple with Daniel M. Shlufman.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and navigating the legal process that follows can feel overwhelming—especially during an emotional time. Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a deceased person’s estate, including validating their will, paying outstanding debts, and distributing assets to heirs. While this process can be complex and time-consuming, having a knowledgeable and compassionate legal guide by your side can make all the difference.
At our firm, Daniel M. Shlufman offers experienced and thoughtful probate representation for families across New York and New Jersey. Whether you’re an executor named in a will or a family member navigating intestate succession (when there is no will), Dan helps you move through each step of the probate process efficiently, legally, and with minimal stress.
What Is Probate?
Probate is a legal procedure required to administer and distribute a person’s estate after death. The process may involve:
- Resolving disputes or claims against the estate
- Distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries
- Validating the will through the court system
- Paying final debts, taxes, and expenses
- Identifying and inventorying assets
While not every estate requires probate, many do—especially when assets are titled solely in the deceased’s name or if there is no trust in place.
Our Probate Services Include
- Assisting executors and administrators in their legal duties
- Filing the necessary documents to initiate probate
- Distributing property and closing the estate
- Inventorying and appraising estate assets
- Resolving claims, debts, and disputes
- Handling intestate (no-will) estates
- Validating and executing wills
- Notifying heirs and creditors
