I need some help please. I dont have much of an estate but my children, who I fully support on my own, need whatever little I can pass on to them.
Married but separated 10 years no contact no financial support no co-owned assets not divorced no chance of reconciliation
Because of this, does not NJ 3B:8-1 mean basically that he
has no claim to my estate?
My will does not state that I am married. Does this make my will invalid and render me as passing intestate? OR should I mention in my will that I am married and state specifically that I bequeath him nothing?
By the way - on a NJ will, must testator and witnesses sign on the will itself in order to make it self-proving? OR can they sign on separate self-proving affidavit? If so, can the affidavit be executed after the will was drawn?
Thank you very much for your kind assistance. God bless.

You should speak to an estates attorney. I can refer you to one if you like.
