Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

If your father's Will has been probated, by law, the executor MUST provide you with a copy of the Will together with 'Notice of Probate' within 60 days of when the Will was admitted to probate by the Surrogate.

If you do not receive a notice from the executor, you should contact the Surrogate's Office of the county where your father resided at the time of his death, to ask if a will was probated and what you may do to get information about it.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.

I agree. Best is to call the Surrogate where your father resided when he died and see if anything has been probated or an administration filed. While you may not have received anything, for whatever reason, this will tell you what was done and who are the players. If a Will was probated, you can get a copy for a small fee.
