Probate Administration of an Estate in New Jersey


An Estate Attorney Who is a NJ Probate Lawyer Understands Probate and the Probate Process in New Jersey


An estate is the total property owned by a deceased individual prior to the distribution of that property in accordance with the terms of a will or trust, or, when there is no will or trust, by the laws of inheritance in the state where the decedent lived. If proper planning of the estate has not been done, this process can be complicated. Several things happen during this procedure:


  • The will or trust is proved to be valid or invalid.
  • The property covered by the will or trust is verified.
  • It is determined how the property is to be distributed
  • Unpaid creditors of the decedent are given the opportunity to file claims against the estate.
  • Fees and taxes for administration of the estate are approved and paid.
  • The assets of the estate are distributed.

TESTIMONIAL

I was in a panic.  My fiancée passed away and I was named as a beneficiary of a valuable piece of real estate in Hudson County, New Jersey under his Will. Adding to my grief was the decision of the Executor to ignore the language of his Will and then he refused to convey ownership of the real estate to me.

What were my rights?  What could I do?  I called various people for a referral to an attorney experienced in probate.  Mr. Niemann was recommended to me and immediately he took charge.  He filed a lawsuit against the Executor and aggressively fought for me throughout the legal process.  He would not compromise or settle for less than I deserved under the Will.  A trial took place and Mr. Niemann tried the case for me to the end.   He was prepared and his office and associates offered tremendous assistance to me and Mr. Niemann in getting the case ready for trial.

Today, I am the owner of the property my fiancée intended for me to have.  I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mr. Niemann and his very capable office.
