Susan: It is possible your great aunt and uncle died intestate. There would still be administrator(s) appointed to handle the estates. If there were assets left after all bills were paid, family members would inherit the remainder of the estate. If land was involved, there may be records of a Petition for Partition, which means family members had to go to court and prove their relationship to the deceased before the land could be divided or sold. I am basing this last thought on research in earlier NJ records. If I am incorrect on any aspect of this, I hope someone will "jump in" and help.

I called Sussex Co. and was told they have no will for her. She also had a home in Elizabeth, Union Co., NJ and I called that county as well and they also have no copy of a will for her. Her husband died before her in Sussex Co. and I was told he has no will but there was an administrator listed for him which is very confusing to me. Is there any way I can find a copy of their wills?
