This is typically done in order to avoid any potential conflicts of interest or to clear the way for someone else to be appointed as the administrator. There are two types of New Jersey Renunciation of Administrator: formal and informal. A formal renunciation requires that the renouncing party sign a formal document and file it with the court. An informal renunciation is done simply by notifying the court that the renouncing party no longer wishes to act as administrator.
