Commonly Asked Questions about Testate Will Notices

In New Jersey, whether an estate must go through the probate process primarily depends on the value and type of assets the deceased person left behind. Generally, if the decedent owned assets totaling more than $20,000 and these assets do not have a designated beneficiary or joint ownership, probate is necessary.
If there are no claims against the estate within nine months of the death of the deceased, the executor can distribute the assets to beneficiaries and issue a declaration of discharge. So, nine months is essentially the minimum timeline for settling estates valued at over $20,000 in New Jersey.
How Long to Settle an Estate in New York? The short answer: from 7 months to 3 years. Typically 9 months. Estate settlement (also known as estate administration) is the phase during which you, as the court-appointed executor, must collect the estate assets, organize and pays debts, and file all final taxes.
In New Jersey, you can file probate no sooner than 10 days after the persons death. There is no official deadline for how long after their death you can file, but many families try to start the process as soon as possible.
A testate estate means that the decedent (deceased person) left a will, which disposes of his or her property. An intestate estate means that the decedent did not leave a will and the probate court will determine the distribution of his or her property to heirs ing to a priority statute.
The statute of limitations for the challenge of probate is one of the shortest in New Jersey law: the action must be commenced within four months after the Will is admitted to probate (or 6 months if the person bringing the action lives out-of-state).
The law requires that a will be probated within ten years of the testators death, but the process should begin sooner to ensure the proper distribution of assets and settling of debts.
Beneficiaries who will inherit something under the Will must be notified (officially informed) of the probate proceeding. The filing fee is based on the dollar value of the estate. Probate proceedings can be very complicated. In many cases, it might be a good idea to get a lawyer.
