Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

IF the aunt was a NJ resident, AND she had a will, AND you were named in it...then once the will is probated, the executor must send you a "notice of probate" and a copy of the will.

If you are mentioned in the will as a beneficiary the executor must contact you. If you think the executor or executrix may not recognize you by your married name or know where to find you then you should contact the executor or executrix to provide your contact information.If you can find out who the attorney for the estate is you should contact him or her as well. The above information may not be considered legal advice as there may be additional information to which I am not privy. Should you wish to discuss the matter further or desire my assistance please feel free to contact my office for an appointment.

what the other attorneys wrote is correct. I would need to see a copy of the Will to tell you what is going on, and you should be given a copy of that if you were named in the Will.

I can also explain to you how you can get a copy of the Will even if you are not given a copy.

I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you.

This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
