Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
death
my brother died and has no will, no survivors. I was named beneficiary to his death benefit. He has a storage unit I have been paying on and I went to get access and the storage place said that I needed some court documents to grant me access. Please advise.

You need to commence an estate proceeding to appoint yourself an executor to have access to the storage unit.
Feel free to contact me if you require further assistance on this matter.
Kind regards,

You need to file papers in Surrogate's Court in the County where your Brother lived in order to get Letters of Administration. Once you have the Letters, you can administer your Brother's estate and gain access to the storage unit, bank accounts, etc.
