This resource is published by Morgan Legal Group, a New York estate and probate law firm led by attorney Russel Morgan. The firm focuses on trusts, estates, and Surrogate’s Court practice across New York, including matters before the Kings County Surrogate’s Court that serves Brooklyn. The goal of this site is to give Brooklyn families accurate, statute-grounded answers about probate before they ever pick up the phone.
Attorney Russel Morgan
Russel Morgan is the founding attorney of Morgan Legal Group, admitted to practice law in New York. His practice concentrates on estate planning, probate, and estate administration — the areas of law that determine how a Brooklyn brownstone, a family’s savings, and a lifetime of work pass to the next generation. He represents executors, administrators, beneficiaries, and families navigating the Kings County Surrogate’s Court.
Our approach to Brooklyn estates
Brooklyn estates are not generic. They turn on appreciated real property — the row house bought decades ago, now worth far more — and on family structures that span continents, raising kinship and heirship questions the Kings County Surrogate’s Court sees daily. Our work is built around those realities: getting title transferred correctly, handling citations to heirs abroad, managing estate-tax exposure on appreciated property, and moving estates through a high-volume court efficiently.
Why you can trust this information
Every page on this site cites New York law by name and section — EPTL for substantive estate rules, SCPA for procedure — paired with plain-English explanation. We name the specific court (Kings County Surrogate’s Court, 2 Johnson Street), its verified address, and the statutes that govern Brooklyn estates. Where figures change year to year, such as estate-tax thresholds and filing fees, we flag them for verification rather than risk stale numbers. This is the standard a real practitioner holds, applied to public-facing content.
Editorial standard
The content here is prepared and reviewed under the supervision of a New York-licensed attorney. It is informational and educational; it is not legal advice for your specific situation, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Where we serve
We serve Brooklyn (Kings County) and its neighborhoods — Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn Heights, Bensonhurst, Flatbush, Sunset Park, Williamsburg, and beyond — with matters before the Kings County Surrogate’s Court. We also handle estates throughout New York City and New York State.
