Probate Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming — We are Here to Help.

Protecting What Matters Most.

Probate is the court process of handling

someone’s estate after they pass away,

with or without a Will. The court may

decide if a Will is valid, make sure assets

are divided correctly, and check that the

executor is doing their job.

In New Jersey, probate can be confusing

and take a long time. Executors have many

duties, and sometimes beneficiaries may

challenge their actions.

If you’re dealing with probate, a New Jersey

probate lawyer can guide you, make the

process easier, and help you move

through it smoothly.

What is Probate?

Probate is the court process of handling someone’s estate after they pass away, with or without a Will. The court may decide if a Will is valid, make sure assets are divided correctly, and check that the executor is doing their job.

When Someone Dies Without a Will

In New Jersey, probate courts handle what happens when someone dies without a Will. This is called “intestate,” and the court uses state rules to decide how the estate is divided. Probate can also step in even if there is a Will. For example, a spouse or child left out of the Will may ask the court for a share of the estate. A New Jersey probate lawyer can help you understand these rules and protect your rights during the process.
