Service area
Morgan Legal Group serves clients across Manhattan (New York County) and the greater New York City area. Manhattan estates are administered at the New York County Surrogate’s Court, 31 Chambers Street, New York, NY 10007, which has jurisdiction over residents domiciled in the borough under SCPA 205.
What to bring to your consultation
To make the most of the 30 minutes, gather what you can:
- A summary of your assets — especially whether your home is a co-op (shares + proprietary lease) or a condo (deed), since they pass differently.
- Any existing will, trust, power of attorney, or health care proxy.
- Account and beneficiary-designation information (IRAs, 401(k)s, life insurance).
- For an estate you’re administering: the death certificate, the original will if any, and a list of heirs.
Not sure what you have? Come anyway — part of the consult is sorting that out. Background reading: our wills, trusts, and Manhattan estate guide pages.
Hours and response expectations
Consultations are by appointment through the scheduling link above. We aim to respond to booking requests promptly. For time-sensitive estate matters — an imminent court deadline or a citation you’ve been served — note the urgency when you book.
Getting to the Surrogate’s Court area
The New York County Surrogate’s Court sits at 31 Chambers Street in Lower Manhattan, at the corner of Chambers and Centre Streets near City Hall and the Civic Center — accessible from the Chambers Street and Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall subway stations. This is informational; you do not need to visit the court to consult with us.

Information you submit when booking is used only to schedule and prepare for your consultation. This website is general information, not legal advice, and contacting the firm or booking a consultation does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only by a signed engagement agreement.
