FAQ
The probate process is initiated with the presenting of the original Will together with a certified copy of the death certificate and list of heirs at law to the Surrogate by the named executor.
Handling probate without the assistance of an attorney comes with several risks. One significant risk is not being familiar with all the legal requirements and deadlines associated with the probate process.
You normally need not get very specific, unless an object is particularly valuable. It is enough to list the location of the property: "all household furnishings and possessions in the apartment at 55 Drury Lane."
The Process of Probating a Last Will The Executor named in the Will must file a Complaint in Superior Court asking the Probate Judge to issue an order permitting the probate of the Will's copy. In support of the application, the named Executor must explain what efforts he or she made to locate the original Will.
A Short Certificate is a legal document that shows the decedent's name and date of death. It will also show the name of the Executor/Executrix who has been named to handle the affairs of the estate. A Short Certificate can be obtained at the "Register of Wills" office in the county court house.
The executor named in the will should visit the Middlesex County Surrogate's Court during office hours. The original, signed will and certified death certificate must be provided to the Probate Clerk. The original will is then retained by the Surrogate's Court and archived.
In New Jersey, there's no strict deadline to start probate after a death. But getting started ASAP can prevent financial stress for family members and avoid issues with creditors' claims on the estate.
If there are no claims against the estate within nine months of the death of the deceased, the executor can distribute the assets to beneficiaries and issue a declaration of discharge. So, nine months is essentially the minimum timeline for settling estates valued at over $20,000 in New Jersey.
