A 252 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires creditors to accept electronic document transmission for certain documents.

This bill requires creditors to accept electronic transmission of death certificates from estate executors after a creditor has filed a claim. It applies specifically to creditors in New Jersey estate proceedings who have already submitted a written claim to the executor. The law mandates that executors can send certified death certificates electronically (including required details like name, date of death, and cause), and creditors who refuse this method forfeit their right to file a claim. This change aims to resolve issues with lost paper documents or illegible faxes in current practice.
