2375 Questions Answered
- Q. How can I address a neighbor's noise and gazebo drainage issues legally in NYC?
- A: Call 311 and report a noise complaint. NYC has noise ordinances.
- Q. How can I assert my rights to a deceased parent's estate without a will?
- A: Krim is right as far as he went. When you say "acknowledgment of paternity" what do you mean? There is a Family Court document called that, and that would be critical. Merely claiming it in correspondence is not enough. You would need DNA proof. Should you be challenged, this is a long and expensive process, and whether it is worth doing depends on the size of the estate. However, if you do not file, you get zero, so you should file.
- Q. What type of lawyer for estate dispute in NY?
- A: Any estate specialist. You need to bring a petition to compel payment of a claim assuming you made your claim properly.
