Probate in New Jersey can take anywhere from 6 months to over 2 years, depending on the complexity of the estate. Simple estates with a clear will and cooperative heirs can move through the process relatively quickly. But contested wills, multiple properties, outstanding debts, or family disputes can drag things out significantly. The good news is that you don't always have to wait until probate is fully complete to sell a property. In many cases, the executor can sell the home once Letters Testamentary are issued, even while other aspects of the estate are being settled.
