Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
My nephew recently passed with no will in NJ. No spouse, children, siblings or grandparents. I am the only paternal aunt (no other paternal siblings) there were 2 maternal uncles each with one child and 1 maternal aunt with no children. Do I receive 50% and the cousins split their 50% of the estate? Or is the estate split in thirds?

The aunt and uncles split. Aunt gets 50% and each uncle gets 25%.
