Lakewood Probate Resources

With a population of right around 100,000, Lakewood Township is a popular place to live in Ocean County, New Jersey.

As a resident of Lakewood, there may come a time when you turn your full attention to matters regarding estate planning and elder law. While this isn’t the most exciting thing to do, once you have all the appropriate details in order you’ll feel much better about your current arrangements and what the future will bring.

It’s only natural to have a variety of questions, with this one among the most common: where can you dig up more information regarding the probate process in Lakewood?

Before we discuss some of the best places to find this information, let’s examine the ins and outs of the probate process:

  • Proves that the deceased individual’s will is valid
  • Identifies all assets and debts
  • The payment of taxes and debts
  • The distribution of property, as outlined in the will

Even though probate can be simple at times, most people who jump into this for the first time may come to find that there’s a lot to think about.

If you aren’t on the right page upfront in regards to what you should and shouldn’t be doing, it may be a challenge to make informed decisions when the time comes.

Now that we have all that out of the way, let’s examine some of the best places to turn for Lakewood probate resources:

  1. Ocean County Office of the Surrogate

When you visit the Ocean County Office of the Surrogate website you’ll find a variety of information on probate, wills, and other related details.

Here is an excerpt from the website that further explains the responsibilities of this office:

“The duties of the Surrogate are mostly administrative. These duties provide for the administration of an estate, whether it be the process of admitting a will to probate or grant letters of administration to an appropriate person to carry on the duties of the decedent. Letters of Guardianship are also granted to persons for minor children who are awarded funds through a court or from an estate as well as guardians for mentally incapacitated persons.”

If you have any questions about Lakewood probate, this is the first place to look.

  1. Township of Lakewood

If you live in Lakewood it’s safe to assume you’re familiar with the township’s website.

Even so, it doesn’t mean you’ve spent any time searching the website for information related to probate, estate planning, and other related subjects.

From local departments to a directory, there is no shortage of information. Take the time to review everything in great detail, as it may provide you with a better idea of where to turn for specific information regarding your situation.

  1. Justia

Are you interested in hiring a probate attorney in Lakewood? Do you have questions about estate planning?

While Justia doesn’t focus solely on Lakewood – but instead provides information for people all over the country – it’s still a great place to begin your search for basic guidance and advice.

As a traditional resource, this website will help you form a high level overview of your situation and what to do next.
