N.J. probate rules differ from most states due to the fact that the individual counties establish probate procedures. The only time limit set statewide, is that a will or probate proceedings may not begin until the eleventh business day after the person has died. There usually isn't a penalty for delayed probate filing. However, the case will probably be handled differently, than one that was filed within established time limits. The best option is contacting the county probate court of jurisdiction for further instructions.

Does a Last Will and Testament have to be filed with the courts before death?
TAs a New Jersey attorney, I can only speak as to NJ law. In NJ the will of a decedent does not have to be "filed with the Court" in the sense that it is admitted to probate unless something needs to be done by an executor. such as transferring assets to a beneficiary. But there is no requirement that a will be filed just because there is one. This answer is given for informational purposes only and is not to be taken as legal advice, however I believe it to be accurate.
