What is the statue of limitations for submitting a Will to probate?
I have a copy of my aunt’s Will that leaves me as the executor and beneficiary of her estate. I also have the original POA and health proxy for her. Her estranged son took over via guardianship.

If your Aunt has passed away then a POA or Guardianship appointment would no longer be valid. Her wishes in her Will govern the appointment of a fiduciary for her estate on her behalf. There i not time limitation in New York for the appointment of a fiduciary. Good luck.
