New Jersey Application for Administration Ad Prosequendum is a legal process used by the New Jersey Surrogate's Court to appoint an administrator (personal representative) of a deceased person's estate who was a resident of New Jersey at the time of their death. This is used to ensure that the deceased's estate is properly settled and distributed according to their wishes. The application can be filed by a family member, creditor, or other interested person. Types of New Jersey Application for Administration Ad Prosequendum include: • Formal Administration: Used when the decedent left a will, and the will names an executor. • Informal Administration: Used when the decedent did not leave a will, or if they did, the will did not name an executor. • Ancillary Administration: Used when the decedent was a non-resident of New Jersey but owned property in the state. • Summary Administration: Used when the decedent's estate is small and does not require formal representation.
