What does it mean to be eligible to receive Letters in New York Surrogate's Court?
Before someone can serve as an executor or administrator, the Surrogate's Court must determine that they are legally qualified to receive Letters. These court-issued documents give an individual the authority to manage the estate, pay debts, and distribute assets according to New York law.
Understanding who is eligible can help prevent delays during the probate process.
