For a novice attorney, administering an estate in New Jersey can seem overwhelming. But most of the information needed to successfully accomplish estate administration can be found in one place—Title 3B.

This CLE course will offer a comprehensive review of Title 3B and the default provisions governing instruments in New Jersey as well as what steps to take when no instruments appear such as with guardianship and intestacy. The course will explain laws governing rights, duties and power of fiduciaries, devolution of property, the general authority of the Supreme Court in matters of probate and the jurisdiction of the Superior Court over surrogate proceedings. Matters related to oaths, affidavits, depositions, proofs and the execution of wills will also be discussed.
