Immigration, PROBATE & the Stories in between

Bringing a spouse home? Settling an estate? Starting over in a new country? These are the moments families can't afford to guess their way through — and we've guided New Yorkers through them for two decades.
From Arrival to Legacy

Wherever You Are in the Story

Our Story? Danny Grace came to New York from Ireland with no connections and no shortcuts. Danny forged a path despite the challenges new immigrants to America face. Today, this firm helps other people navigate that system — arriving, building, protecting, and eventually passing on what they made. Different chapters, same steady hand. Tell us your story.

When Your Family’s Story Crosses Borders

Loss doesn’t stop at a border, and neither should good guidance. If your family has ties to both New York and abroad, we understand the added layer that brings — from Irish wills to assets on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a story we know well.

When Your Loved One Wasn’t a U.S. Citizen

Many families we work with are navigating probate alongside immigration questions — a parent who wasn’t a citizen, heirs living overseas, assets in more than one country. We've walked that path and can help you understand what’s ahead.

When an Estate Includes a Family Business or Property

Some estates come with more moving pieces — a family restaurant, an employee’s visa, a co-op with its own rules. If you’re the executor, you’re juggling more than grief. We’ve built our practice to handle exactly this kind of complexity.

Practices

Legal Services for Individuals, Families & Businesses in New York

Does the firm handle immigration matters like visas and green cards?

Yes — our immigration practice focuses on visas and permanent residence (we do not handle deportation defense).

Can Danny Grace PLLC help with employment issues like wrongful termination?

Yes — whether you’re an employee or employer, we can assist, often with no upfront fees.

Does Danny Grace PLLC only handle probate matters?

No — probate is one part of a full-service practice that also covers immigration, employment law, real estate, corporate matters, and liquor licensing.

How much does probate cost?

Probate is often less about legal fees and more about protecting the value of the estate. We’ll walk you through what to expect and can often defer payment.

What happens to a house or property during probate?

This is one of the most common questions we hear. We can explain how probate works and what your options are.

You’ve never been through probate before — where do I even start?

Most families who reach out to us have never dealt with probate. That’s completely normal — we walk you through it step by step.

Do I need to go through probate if a loved one has passed away?

Not every estate requires it. The first step is understanding your specific situation — we’re happy to help you figure that out.

I’ve been named executor — what does that actually involve?

Being named executor is often an honor, but it comes with real responsibility. You don’t have to navigate it alone. We can help.

How long does probate typically take in New York?

Timelines vary by estate, but we’ll give you a realistic picture based on your circumstances early on.
