New York County estate matters are heard in the Surrogate’s Court on Chambers Street.
New York County estate matters are heard at the Surrogate’s Court at 31 Chambers Street.
Manhattan is dominated by cooperative apartments rather than houses, and a co-op is not real property — it is shares in a corporation with a proprietary lease attached. Transferring one after a death usually requires the co-op board’s approval, and boards apply their own timelines and financial requirements to an estate. It is the single most common reason a Manhattan estate takes longer than the family was expecting.
