FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The probate process in New Jersey involves validating a deceased person’s will, identifying and inventorying their assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries as outlined in the will or by state law.
An executor, also known as a personal representative, is responsible for managing the deceased person’s estate, including filing the will with the probate court, notifying beneficiaries and creditors, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries.
Yes, a will can be contested in New Jersey under certain circumstances, such as allegations of fraud, undue influence, or lack of testamentary capacity. Contesting a will involves filing a legal challenge in probate court.
If someone dies without a will in New Jersey, their estate will be subject to intestate succession laws. This means that their assets will be distributed to their closest relatives according to a predetermined hierarchy established by state law.
The duration of probate in New Jersey varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the estate, potential disputes, and court caseload. On average, probate can take several months to over a year to complete.
There are several strategies available to avoid probate in New Jersey, including creating a revocable living trust, joint ownership of assets with rights of survivorship, and naming beneficiaries on certain assets such as life insurance policies and retirement accounts.
A living trust is a legal arrangement in which assets are transferred into a trust during the grantor’s lifetime. The grantor retains control of the trust assets during their lifetime and designates a trustee to manage the trust after their death, avoiding probate for the assets held in the trust.
While some attorneys specialize in either probate or estate planning, many firms, like Morgan Legal Group, offer comprehensive services that cover both areas of law. Having a single firm handle both probate and estate planning can ensure continuity and consistency in your legal affairs.
The cost of probate in New Jersey varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the estate, attorney fees, court fees, and other expenses. Generally, probate costs are paid from the estate’s assets.
While it’s possible to navigate the probate process without legal representation, hiring a probate lawyer can provide valuable guidance, ensure compliance with state laws, and help resolve any disputes that may arise during the estate settlement process.
