Flemington Estate Administration Attorney Handling the estate of a deceased family member or friend is one of life’s duties. Whether being named as “Executor” in a will, or stepping forward to act as “Administrator” where no last will was prepared, the “Personal Representative” will be required to carry out the administration of the deceased’s estate. Probate of a Will If a last will and testament exists, the estate is submitted to “probate”. In New Jersey, probate consists of the named executor bringing the original will and death certificate to the county surrogate. Estates Without a Will If a will does not exist, a family member must apply to the county surrogate for “administration” of the estate as per New Jersey statutes. The surrogate’s office then appoints an administrator of the estate.
