Richard Cary Spivack - Queens Probate Lawyer

Probate law can feel like a maze when you’re already dealing with loss. In Forest Hills, Richard Cary Spivack handles the legal steps that follow—wills, estates, and court filings—so families can focus on what matters. The office sits above Queens Boulevard at 118-21 Queens Blvd #504, a spot that’s easy to reach whether you’re coming from Kew Gardens or Rego Park.

These cases rarely move quickly, but having someone who knows the Surrogate’s Court procedures can save months of delays. Spivack’s practice covers everything from small estates that qualify for simplified probate to larger disputes that need mediation or litigation. Guardianships, trust administration, and kinship hearings are also part of the work, giving clients a single place to sort out the paperwork that comes after a death.

Questions about inheritance taxes or how to transfer a co-op? A call to (718) 544-1000 can clarify the next steps without the legal jargon. Forest Hills itself has a mix of older apartment buildings and newer developments, so the issues that come up—like contested deeds or missing heirs—often reflect the neighborhood’s changing demographics.
