My mother and I went to Judy for help with Medicaid and estate planning. We left each meeting feeling secure and knowledgeable about the information she shared and the decisions we made. Judy was very patient with us and made no question feel too dumb to ask. We would definitely choose to work with her again in the future.

Updated Review (August 2026): It was a pleasure working with Judy Mock and her team (Isabella and Ekjot) over the past 6 months for estate planning. I first met Judy 6 years ago when I purchased my first house. She was my real estate attorney and reviewed all of the documents for the successful purchase of my house. Recently, I thought it would be wise to begin estate planning for my entire family (my parents, my sister, and me). Judy had a special package that included a simple Last Will & Testament, Health Care Proxy, Living Will, and a Power of Attorney. After meeting with Judy and reviewing our situation, she advised that we also create trusts in order to protect our assets. If we didn't create trusts, the probate process to transfer assets through the courts would cost much more than if we created these trusts. Judy walked my family through the entire process and answered all of our questions. She had diagrams to explain the process of estate inheritance and the importance of having all of our documents in place (Last Will & Testament, Health Care Proxy, Living Will, a Power of Attorney, and trusts). It took us several months to gather all of the necessary documents and review the estate documents. Once that was done, Judy and her team prepared the documents for execution and notary. Everything was completed in one hour in our last meeting. My family and I truly appreciate the time and guidance that Judy had provided us with in the complex world of estate planning. We hope to work with her again in the future for any additional estate matters. ------ Original Review (December 2020): I highly recommend Judy Mock! She made my first time home buyer experience as smooth as silk! I am a first time home buyer in New York and was in for lots of surprises. The first being the need to have an attorney to represent me to close on a house. Soon after I had my offer accepted, I had to find an attorney to work with me with the contracts and closing. I met Judy from a referral by my employer’s MetLife/Hyatt Legal Plan and on the first phone call to her back in September, I immediately knew that she would be able to take me through this home buying adventure. Although she gets paid a fraction of her fees through such legal plans, she still treated me like all of her other private clients. She delivered her legal services with such attention to detail and compassion throughout this process. With patience and empathy, Judy walked me through the process of signing the initial contract and answered all the questions I had. She added riders that would protect me in case the sellers had any outstanding issues in addition to Covid riders in case something happened to me. This gave me peace of mind in signing the contract. Judy also gave me invaluable advice on what interest rates I should be expecting from my mortgage and I was able to secure one of the best rates on the market. Once my mortgage was in place, she coordinated with my mortgage broker, the seller, the seller’s attorney, the banker’s attorney, and the title company on the final closing date. Judy did all of that coordination and all I had to do was show up, sign, and pick up my keys. During the actual closing, she (and everyone else) showed up on time and we finished the entire closing in 45 minutes. She went through all of the paperwork with such precision and attention to detail that I truly felt blessed to have such an amazing lawyer work with me through this process. Overall, I definitely recommend Judy for anyone who needs help with any real estate law cases. Based on this experience, I’m sure she is just as amazing in all of her other law cases as well (criminal defense, commercial, business, etc.). I’ll definitely hire her for any legal issues I have in the future. Thank you so much Judy!

Judy is everything you want in an attorney: knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely client-focused. What stood out most was how thoughtfully she approached preparing my estate planning documents — it was clear she took the time to truly understand my situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. If you're looking for an attorney who combines real expertise with a personal, caring approach, look no further than Judy Mock.

Judy was amazingly helpful with my wife and I preparing wills and other legal documents when we were expecting. She expedited our case so we would have POA and advance directives sorted out before childbirth in case anything went wrong. She's up front about what's best, how much it costs, and what her recommendations are. Extremely clear communication and very organized, streamlined process for us. We will be going back for any future legal needs. Highly recommended!

Probate & Administration FAQs

After a person dies, ownership (the legal title) of his or her property, assets and personal effects must be passed on (legally transferred) to the beneficiaries (heirs) listed in the Will. If there is no Will, the persons receiving assets are designated by State law. “Probate” is the legal name given to this process.

First, the Last Will and Testament must be verified as the valid, final dispositive statement of the decedent (the official record of the deceased person’s final wishes). The Will generally names the person or institution appointed to administer (manage) the probate estate process. When there is no valid Will, State law governs who receives the assets of the deceased.

In New York, the probate court is called the Surrogate Court. There is a different Surrogate Court in each county. The Last Will and Testament of the Decedent must be probated in the county where the Decedent was domiciled.

The Probate process can be expensive, time-consuming, and may be open to the public. The length of time needed to complete probate and the costs associated with probate of an estate will depend on the size and complexity of the estate.
