Go To The County Surrogate<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\nProbate in New Jersey is easy and inexpensive, unlike in many other states.\u00a0 It takes about twenty minutes and usually costs about $150.00.\u00a0 If there is a Last Will, the proposed Executor should take the original Last Will, with a death certificate to the Surrogate\u2019s office in the county where the deceased resided. If there is no Last Will, a family member will have to apply to the Surrogate to become the Administrator. This could be somewhat complicated, but since you will have previously met with an attorney, you will be prepared.\u00a0Once you have \u201cqualified\u201d with the Surrogate, you will be given certificates that prove you are the Executor.\u00a0Now you can administer the estate.<\/p>\n
