What is the name of your state? New York

How long does it take in Brooklyn NY to issue a letter of administration from the time all paperwork are submitted?

I already have the letter from a different state but i need it in NY too

Based upon my long ago experiences with several Surrogates Courts in New York City, how long something takes often depended on exactly who is filing the papers and requesting the clerk to take action. Unless things have changed the clerks tend to respond to and expedite filings by lawyers and law firms they know and like (and let's not get into what it takes for some clerks to "like" them) or find it advisable to do a patronage-like favor for.
