What if the decedent owned land outside New York?
If the decedent was a resident of New York, the probate laws of New York determine who will get the decedent’s personal property (wherever it was located) and the decedent’s real property located within New York. However, property owned by the decedent in another state is subject to that state’s laws in determining how the real property will be distributed. There will be probate in each state where there is real property, in addition to the home state.
