Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does New York require an attorney for a real estate closing?
In most New York real estate transactions, both the buyer and the seller are represented by an attorney. The attorney prepares or reviews the contract, handles title issues, and represents you at the closing. Fisher Stone represents buyers and sellers in residential and commercial closings for a flat fee.
How much does it cost to form an LLC in New York?
The cost includes the state filing fee for the Articles of Organization plus New York's newspaper publication costs, which vary by county. Fisher Stone forms your LLC for one flat fee that covers the filing, the publication requirement, and your operating agreement, quoted before any work begins.
How much does a will cost?
The cost depends on how detailed your estate plan needs to be. A simple will costs less than a plan that includes trusts and tax planning. Fisher Stone quotes a flat fee for your estate planning documents after a short consultation.
Do I need a lawyer to buy a house in New York?
New York is one of the states where attorneys handle real estate closings. A real estate attorney protects your interests in the contract, reviews title, and represents you at the closing. Fisher Stone handles the full process for buyers and sellers.
What is probate, and how long does it take in New York?
Probate is the court process for settling a person's estate after they pass away. In New York it goes through the Surrogate's Court in the county where the person lived. The timeline depends on the estate and the court's schedule, and it can take several months or longer. We guide families through probate and estate administration.
How does Fisher Stone charge?
We charge a flat fee for most matters. After a short consultation, an attorney reviews your situation and quotes one price for the work, so you know the full cost before anything begins.
What areas does Fisher Stone serve?
We serve clients across all five boroughs of New York City, plus Westchester County and New Rochelle. Our office is at 42 Broadway in Lower Manhattan.
How do I get started?
You can complete a short online intake or call us at (212) 256-1877. There is no fee to get started, and an attorney will review your matter and send a flat-fee quote.
