Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: Estate sucession

Steve and Jon seem to have it correct, although the Will governs what happens. Traditionally, depending upon the Will language, the heirs of the deceased beneficiary inherit his/her share. but the Will may specify otherwise. If the Will is silent, the share usually passes to the Estate of the deceased beneficiary, and his/her Will determines who gets it. More information is needed for a better response.

Re: Estate sucession

I assume from your question that the beneficiary survived the decedent, and died during the administration of the estate. In that case, generally, the deceased beneficiary's estate would recieve the assets (but I would need to review the specific terms of the will to know for certain).

Re: Estate sucession

It depends on what the Will says, and other factors.
