Frequently Asked Questions

Leave The Key is based on Long Island, New York – we currently provide probate advisory, estate settlement, and real estate services to people in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queen, and Brooklyn.

We founded Leave The Key after dealing with the probate process firsthand and realizing that people deserved access to sympathetic and compassionate advisors with practical industry knowledge. When my parents passed away a few years ago, many real estate investors swarmed upon me trying to buy my parents’ home and I was offended by their lack of sensitivity or desire to offer the comprehensive help that our family really needed. That experience led me to become a resource to those who have lost loved ones and who are having to settle their estates.

Getting started is easy – simply reach out online to schedule a free, no-obligation phone consultation with our team.
