Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 3B:23-4

  • Distributee: means any person who has received property of a decedent from his personal representative other than as a creditor or purchaser. See New Jersey Statutes 3B:1-1
  • Estate: means all of the property of a decedent, minor or incapacitated individual, trust or other person whose affairs are subject to this title as the property is originally constituted and as it exists from time to time during administration. See New Jersey Statutes 3B:1-1
After the probable charges against the estate are known, the personal representative may mail or deliver a proposal for distribution to all persons who have a right to object to the proposed distribution. The proposal shall notify all persons who have a right to object to the proposal of their right to object and that their objection must be in writing and received by the personal representative within 30 days after the mailing or delivery of the proposal. The right of any distributee to object to the proposed distribution on the basis of the kind or value of asset he is to receive, if not waived earlier in writing, terminates if he fails to object in writing received by the personal representative within 30 days after mailing or delivery of the proposal.
