When a will is probated in NJ, does an executior need to provide a copy to a non-beneficiary who's impacted by its contents(ex: property coowned )?

Re: Will Probate
When a property is co-owned, one of the owners cannot will the entire property to someone else; the deceased could have willed only his/her interest. The other owner remains the owner of his/her interest. The surviving owner is not necessarily a "non-beneficiary", but may be an heir, depending on the relationship to the deceased.
If you want to find out what is in the will but have not received notice, you may check with the Surrogate in the County where the deceased lived.
