My uncle died 1/3/01. I live in Florida and he lived in New York. My grandparents left 3 pieces of property to their heirs (heirs being my father,1 aunt and 5 uncles now all deceased) This uncle was the last of my grandparents children. Therefore, the property now goes to myself, my sister, my brother and my 3 cousins (I have a copy of my grandparent's will). The problem is nobody knows what to do. I have checked with the Orange County Surrogate court and no will has been filed yet. I contacted some lawyers when I was in New York at the funeral but, thus far (as of 1/19/01)no will has been located. What is the next step, can one of us take it upon themselves to go to a lawyer and get things going or does the court do that? My 3 cousins live in the same town as the property but, none of them
wants to do anything. Also, can any debits made against this property come back on me? The other thing I checked while in New York was that there are no leins or taxes owed on this property at this time. Also, how long does it usually take for a will to be filed after a person dies? My uncle told my mother he had a will made by a lawyer about 3 years ago.
