When must a required municipal wrongful-death notice be served?

Retain the actual representative appointment and identify the public corporation and legal notice requirement.

Distinguish this notice from the suit limitation and from a State Court of Claims claim.

Responsible actor. The estate representative required to serve the qualifying public-corporation wrongful-death notice. The required GMU 50-e wrongful-death notice branch, with the proper public corporation and representative established.

1. Retain the actual representative appointment and identify the public corporation and legal notice requirement.
2. Distinguish this notice from the suit limitation and from a State Court of Claims claim.
3. Exclude the established event day and count every intermediate calendar day under GCL 20.
4. Serve the sworn notice with its required contents on the proper recipient by an authorized method. Preserve the appointment and completed service evidence.

GCL 20 excludes the established event day. These five-, ten-, fifteen-, twenty-, twenty-one-, thirty-, sixty- and ninety-day periods count intermediate calendar days. GCL 30 uses the corresponding calendar-month day, or the final day of a shorter month. GCL 58 defines a year as twelve months. GCL 25-a permits the next succeeding business day when the statutory final day is closed and expressly includes periods before which an act is required. The actual hearing or entry time and any different court direction remain separate checks. The independent calendar follows GCL 24 and Election Law 8-100. It includes Lincoln’s Birthday, the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, Juneteenth and general election day. GCL 24 adds the following day for a listed Sunday holiday except Flag Day. It does not generally move a Saturday holiday to Friday. Dates after 2027 are projections of the reviewed standing statute through 2033, not proof of future court openings. Check amendments, additional appointed holidays and actual closures separately.

The scoped calculators accept independently established events in 2026 and 2027 and projected final dates through 2033. They require the particular disclosed branch, no unsupported service-method addition, no unmodeled toll, no different actual court order and no additional closure. Earlier editions, historical tolls and outside dates require separate review and receive no computed or paid date. This software boundary does not establish that an act is legally late.

Fictitious example

The required GMU 50-e wrongful-death notice branch, with the proper public corporation and representative established. Fictitious established facts. The required GMU 50-e wrongful-death notice branch, with the proper public corporation and representative established.

Fictitious established facts. The date does not prove classification, valid service, jurisdiction, completed filing, a granted motion or an extension. Any earlier competing boundary, actual hour and future-calendar qualification still applies.

Appointment event

The notice branch uses representative appointment, not death or the earlier injury.

Separate suit limit

Applicable action limitations and conditions remain separate. This result does not establish that the lawsuit is timely.

Excluded and revived claims

Check GMU 50-e(8)’s benefit-law, infant-ward and child-sexual-conduct exclusions, and the specific CPLR 214-j or 208-a revived-claim exemptions. No exemption is presumed.

• GMU 50-e(2)-(3) controls sworn notice contents, authorized recipient and completion. Qualifying registered or certified in-state mail completes on proper posting. Approved large-city electronic service uses its receipt, and the Secretary of State alternative has its own duplicate-copy and fee requirements. This differs from CTC 11 attorney-general receipt. Preserve proof of the actual authorized act.
