The New York Application For Release(s) of Estate Tax Lien is a form used by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to remove an estate tax lien from a deceased person's estate. This lien is imposed when the decedent owes taxes to the state. There are two types of New York Application For Release(s) of Estate Tax Lien: the Form ET-420 and the Form ET-420.1. The Form ET-420 is used to remove the lien from a decedent's real property only. The Form ET-420.1 is used to remove the lien from both real and personal property. The forms require information about the deceased person, their estate, and any taxes owed. The forms also require documentation such as a death certificate, a copy of the will, and proof of payment of any taxes owed. Once the forms are completed, they must be filed with the Department of Taxation and Finance and a disposition order must be issued. Once the disposition order is issued, the lien will be removed from the estate.
