Question

my father died in nj a few months back

have not heard from his attorney

i am only living child

is his attorney required to notify me

Answer

why don't you call him. If your dad died and he has no spouse and you are the only living child, you could be the only heir. However, if your dad left a will, and you had siblings who had children, you could be sharing with them.

Answer

No. If you are his next of kin, it is your responsibility to have the estate go to probate.
