That is a question for an attorney who does probate and estates. Call the Bar Association in the county in New Jersey where the property is located and ask for a referral to a probate/estate attorney.

Don't know about NJ, but probate usually comes first. In NY,  for example, a probate certificate from the court is required at closing. Call the probate court in your county or an attorney.

Bette, 

Were you named the executor on the will? 

Probate in New Jersey is handled by the surrogate court however it isn't always necessary.

Here is a link that helps explain it a little more detail.
