TAs a New Jersey attorney, I can only speak as to NJ law. In NJ the will of a decedent does not have to be "filed with the Court" in the sense that it is admitted to probate unless something needs to be done by an executor. such as transferring assets to a beneficiary. But there is no requirement that a will be filed just because there is one. This answer is given for informational purposes only and is not to be taken as legal advice, however I believe it to be accurate.
