New Jersey Renunciation of Administration is a legal document that allows a person to decline the right to serve as a personal representative (executor) for someone’s estate. This document is used when a person who has been appointed as an executor or administrator to an estate decides they do not want to fulfill the role. The Renunciation of Administration document must be filed with the Surrogate’s Court in the county where the deceased resided. There are two types of New Jersey Renunciation of Administration: Formal Renunciation of Administration and Informal Renunciation of Administration. Formal Renunciation of Administration is a document signed by someone who has been appointed as a personal representative for an estate, but who wishes to decline the role. This document must be signed in front of a notary and filed with the Surrogate’s Court. Informal Renunciation of Administration is a document signed by someone who has been appointed as a personal representative for an estate, but who wishes to decline the role. This document does not require a notary and is typically filed with the Surrogate’s Court.

If a person dies with assets but no will or trust, an administrator for his/her estate must be appointed by a court. If a person owns assets or property jointly with another person or in trust, then probate and estate administration is not necessary because ownership automatically goes to the surviving owner.
If the named Executor wishes to renounce, we would prepare the paperwork and give the renunciation of an executor or administrator to the attorney or the representative to be mailed out along with the certification of authentication for a notary to be filled out, signed & returned to us.
Yes, you can resign as an Executor (even if you have previously agreed with the Willmaker that you would undertake the role) as long as you have not undertaken any actions that could be understood to be 'managing the estate'.
Just because you are nominated as executor of a Will does not mean that you must serve. You can renounce your rights as executor and decline to act by simply signing and having notarized a Renunciation of Nominated Executor form and filing it with the Surrogate's Court in the county in which your aunt resided.
The notice may not be less than 10 days for residents of New Jersey, and 60 days for persons resident outside of New Jersey. The Administrator will sign the Application for Administration which contains information on the administrator and the heirs at law and opens up the procedure in the Surrogate's Court.
A Deed of Renunciation is a legal document that you sign when you don't want to or are unable to act as the Administrator of an Estate. If you've been named as an Executor in a Will and you don't think you can do what's required, you may need a Deed of Renunciation to remove you from your duties.
Should an executor be derelict in his duty of administrating an estate, an action can be filed with the court seeking removal of the executor. Typically, the court will set forth a schedule for the executor to meet after such action is filed.
