| Summary of Services |
Under New Jersey probate practice, a representative in Union County can be required to post a bond unless waived. The amount reflects the personal estate value. |
| Court History |
New Jersey administers probate through the Surrogate's Court in each county, with the Superior Court Chancery Division handling contested matters for Union County. Union County Surrogate's Court, located in Elizabeth, handles probate administration for Union County. Case information for Union County is generally confirmed directly with the court rather than through an online docket search. |
| Additional Information |
Some Union County estates cannot close until missing or unknown heirs are located and notified. If that applies to your case, we can refer you to licensed investigators across the country who specialize in heir searches. When you are ready for the bond itself, we issue executor, administrator, guardianship, and conservator bonds for New Jersey, often the same day. Apply online to begin. |
