What Happens If You Die Without a Will in New Jersey?
If you don’t create an estate plan, New Jersey law provides default rules. Many people assume their spouse will automatically inherit everything if they die without a will. Others assume their children will receive equal shares. But the answer isn’t always that simple. In New Jersey, when someone dies without a valid will, state intestacy laws determine how assets passing through the probate estate are distributed. The outcome depends on the person’s surviving family members.
