Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: deceased parent's will

If the Will has been probated, it is a public document and anyone can see a copy by going to the Surrogate's Office where it has been probated. For a small fee, you can call and a copy can be mailed to you.

Re: deceased parent's will

Not only do you have the right to see the will, you should also have received a "notice to heirs" from the person who filed the will and got Letters Testamentary issued by the Register of Wills of the County. If you did not receive such a notice, you may contact the Register of Wills to request a copy of the will [there may be a copying fee] and to find out what you may do because the Executor is not properly performing duties in administering the estate.

Re: deceased parent's will

Sorry - I misread the State as PA.

My answer is the same, except the office that handles estates in NJ is the Surrogate of the County where the deceased resided at the time of death.

Check with that office to find out about the Will and what your options are.

Re: deceased parent's will

Yes, You should contact the County Surrogate's Office in the County in which your parent resided at the time of their death. If there is a problem, you should consult with an attorney. You have aright to know your parent's final will's provisions.
