The New Jersey Application For Letters Testamentary to Succeeding Executor is a legal document that is used by the executor of an estate when there is a need to appoint a successor executor. This document is used in the event that the original executor dies, resigns, or is otherwise unable to fulfill their duties. It is filed with the Surrogate's Court in the county where the deceased person resided in order to have the successor executor officially appointed. There are two main types of New Jersey Applications For Letters Testamentary to Succeeding Executor: "Application for Letters Testamentary to Succeeding Executor" and "Application for Letters of Independent Administration to Succeeding Executor."
