Just called this morning the receptionist is very nasty and very ride hung up the phone while I was inquiring information. She need to be fired in sure I'm not the only who she has hung up on. If that's the case why work for a form or agency of the county you're suppose to represent.

My husband has passed away few weeks ago and I'm the executor of the will. I found the form online. Do I need to set up an appointment to file the probate application? It seems some in person signatures are required. Thanks.

You can fill out the probate application and bring it in to them. You have to sign in front of a notary.

Is Newark the only location to probate a will for Essex county?

Yes

This place is the reason why citizens outside of Newark speak so poorly of our administration. I signed, dated, and notarized estate paperwork 1 month to the day. I sent it certified mail which arrived 1 day later and no update as of yet. Terrible!

If that was an option I would, but I work 5 days a week and don't feel that I should loose a day of pay to go down there and ask someone to do their job. A month is unacceptable!
