Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
how long do you have to contest a will after it has been probated
2 Answers from Attorneys
the time limit varies, but usually 4 months if you live in new jersey and six months if you do not.
however, the person who files the will must follow the law carefully, or the time limit may not apply.
There is a lot at risk here, and you do not want to lose all of that.
You need a lawyer to sit down with you and give you some advice.
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.
