Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
Heir Property
When my Mother , a resident of New Jersey ,died 2 years ago, she left property in Virginia for my sister and myself. The will was supposed to be probated by my sister as the executor, but she has yet to do it. I want to know since the will has not been probated ,I am afraid the taxes and inheritance charges will accrue and adversely affect us as a result of my sister's negligence in handling this matter what are my options to get this matter corrected?

Re: Heir Property
You do have options. You need to compel probate of the will. Once accomplished, you will also need an ancillary administration in Virginia so that the Virginia property can be deeded to the beneficiaries. You can contact the surrogate's office in the county where your mother lived when she died in order to inquire about compelling probate of the Will which your sister has failed to probate. I would recommend, however, that you retain an attorney to assist you with this. Feel free to call me if you would like.
