Executior Resposibilities
When a will is probated in NJ, what responsibilities does the executor have towards communicating to heir-at-law about the will?
Is an executor required to provide a copy to a heir-at-law? Is there a deadline?

Re: Executior Resposibilities
The Executor must send every heir-at-law a formal Notice of Probate (form is available on-line at most Surrogates' web sites). This is usually done within a week or so of the probate and issuance of Letters Testamentary. While not formally required to do so (just provide the information on where to see it or obtain a copy), it is better if a copy be sent with the Notice.
