Service area
Morgan Legal Group serves clients throughout Brooklyn / Kings County. Estates of Brooklyn domiciliaries are administered through the Kings County Surrogate’s Court, 2 Johnson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201, under SCPA 205’s domicile-venue rule. We work with residents from Brooklyn Heights and Downtown to Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Park Slope, Flatbush, and beyond.
What to expect and what to bring
To make a planning consult productive, gather:
- A rough list of your assets — your home (brownstone, co-op, condo, or multi-family), accounts, retirement plans, and life insurance.
- Any existing will, trust, power of attorney, or health care proxy.
- Names of the people you want to inherit and to serve as executor or agent.
For a probate consult, bring the original will (if any), the death certificate, and a list of the decedent’s assets and known relatives — especially important given Brooklyn’s frequent kinship and foreign-heir issues. See the probate process for the full document checklist.

Getting to the Kings County Surrogate’s Court
If your matter requires a court visit, the Kings County Surrogate’s Court is at 2 Johnson Street in the Downtown Brooklyn Civic Center, near Cadman Plaza and Borough Hall, served by multiple subway lines. Many filings can be handled through NYSCEF e-filing, reducing in-person trips. More on the court: Surrogate’s Court page.
